Just to be accurate:
The average cost of a house in the USA in 2017 is $368,100 USD and the average price of a house in Canada in 2017 is $446,305 USD. That's a difference of $78,205 USD more in Canada - I could do a "let me google that for you" but that would be patronizing.
Minimum wage in Ontario, where Bryston is based, is $11.40 CDN per hour and you can't live on that if you are in any urban area in Canada with a population over 20,000 people. Particularly if you have a family, regardless of socialized health care (which we do pay for through taxes on everything we see, touch or hear)or differences in dollar values. Our prices on everything from food to consumer goods is much higher than the average prices in America.
I'm not a Bryston fan boy but I do get tired of my southern neighbors whining about how unfairly they're treated. At least get the facts straight.
