Unequivocally? There are definitely some areas in the US that are more affordable than some areas in Canada and there are also some areas in Canada that are more affordable than some areas in the US.
In any event the higher inflation rate in the US clearly means that their cost of living has been increasing at a greater rate than ours, which suggests that pylon’s theory was at the very least debatable. The costs of many basic goods and services in a number of the states that I’ve visited recently were either comparable or much higher than they are here, in some of these places I know that did not used to be the case.

There are positives and negatives of both places and I think Canada has such a complex with the US that makes Canadians blind to anything that might actually be better in the US and also blinds them to things that are objectively awful in Canada.

I agree with both places having positives and negatives so I’m not sure why you felt the need to quote my post while launching into your psychological profiling of all Canadians but to be clear I’ve never stated that I believe there are no positives to living in the US nor that there were no downsides to living in Canada. I assure you that despite my ability to think that way I am indeed Canadian.
