That's simply not true. Affordability is still quite high in Alberta, and there are places to be had for reasonable prices... $1400 a month for a house is still reasonable considering our salary levels here.
Plus single income arrangements aren't the norm in Alberta. Employment participation is 70%, highest in the country (which is interesting when you think of the stereotype of "family values" stay at home parent that Alberta has).
Lots of single income arrangements can't afford a home, but it's not 99%.
