There is no way you could even build a home for that price in Calgary or Vancouver, never mind the cost of the land.

I feel exactly the same as you when I watch shows like Property Virgins and House Hunters when they show the houses in the States. $300K down there gets you something that would cost almost $1M here in Calgary. It's insane.
