From affordable housing in Alberta to high taxes in Quebec, there are many widely accepted claims about the cost of living in different parts of the country. But are these preconceptions accurate?

Québec would work if you speak French.
Otherwise the concentration of those jobs in Anglo-Canada has a very high cost of living.
On the flip side, pay in Quebec for tech jobs is pretty terrible. I got an offer from several QC firms over the years and on average it was 20% below my current salary. I know that’s just anecdotal evidence and I will wholeheartedly accept that I may be the outlier, but it has failed to sway me to move out east personally.
That’s fair, I know here is a big (and growing) tech sector; but i know little of the salaries. Let alone enough to do a PPP between the salaries in various locations.
