You probably wouldn't have the same problem in Montreal but good luck getting a job that will pay you what you could find in Calgary. And then the government will tax at twice the rate you'd be taxed at in Alberta.

Way off. 3 bedroom house, 2 bath, attached garage, large backyard 1600 sq feet - 50 minutes from downtown TO. And that happens to be right next to a go train station, guess I wouldnt have to worry about that traffic would I? Bradford and surrounding area is where I am thinking about - and it is a great place to live also. Montreal would be alot easier to find a nice place for a quarter million - go on MLS and take a peak - you can get an amazing shack in outlying areas on Montreal for less then $250,000.
As for the job thing...think again. I dont work in the oil industry, I work in the insurance industry and my salary(which is pretty decent) if I transferred to Montreal or Toronto wouldnt change 1 cent.
And now taxes...wow your wrong again. I would pay LESS income tax living in Ontario(I dont know about PQ, I cannot find the tax formula they use online right now). If your talking about property taxes, well thats a moot point. I might pay less property tax in Alberta, but for the fact it will take me another 10 years to afford a bloody house in Alberta, so the extra $1000 or whatever I have to pay a year will pretty easily be worth it.
