Then why are you here?

Do you enjoy paying sky high rents?

If house prices are cheaper in GTA and Montreal, why aren't you living in one of those places working and paying off a mortgage?

Calgary has more to offer than either GTA or Montreal. I have firends out east who would love to live close to the mountains. Plus the fact they wouldn't have to deal with the humidity that easterners have to deal with each summer. Or the smog alerts and traffic problems.
