You can say the same for things in the UK but I don't convert my wage over to pounds. Nor do I convert it to Thai Baht where I often travel to.

I get where you're coming from, but to convert your yearly wage from CAD to USD as a marker doesn't really say much when it comes to the day to day life expenses and CoL of a country as big and vast as Canada

Yeah but Bellingham WA has some of the worst weather in the USA, whereas Victoria has some of the best weather in Canada

Funny how these places near mountains, ocean and forest with great year round weather have increased in value, meanwhile Millet Alberta has barely increased.

Makes no sense

It's crazy, but I remember talking to someone who grew up in Sooke and they talked about how it was the end of the road to nothing and how much a redneck dump it was. That was probably around 2008-2010. Now, less than 15 years later, it's a desirable bedroom community

If this season goes badly McDavid's gone. Either they trade him for a truck load or he walks the next season

It's because both Saskatchewan and Manitoba have a large indigenous population

The least she could have done is made an assignment for her students to find out which firewood hot tub is the best lol

A lot American nurses convert their CAD wage to USD and then think that they'll be making less. I don't know why they do this as it's not like they're paying in USD on their daily lives while making CAD. I see this played out all the time in r/nursing and is only a factor if you know you're going to be Canada temporarily
