| BC is #1 again!
UBC and Stats Can just released Canada's Standard of Living study and found that BC is #1 in sucking. Yeeeah boy!
This province is getting more awesome by the day! Incomes, house prices leave young B.C. families worse off than anywhere in Canada
Also at 12:06 on the noon news on Global.

Yup, it's forced me out so I'll be gone by spring. The cost of living plus the idea that 50% of what I earn is taxed right back to the gov't has zero appeal to me.

You must be headed to Alberta.

I usually get my meats and veggies there's. So much cheaper compare d to wholefoods or those other overpriced markets.
I meant I never pay retail for my electronics or other stuff. hey markup 300% percent of cost. Ie futureshop. I shop in the states too. The more money I save from shopping the more I can spend on vacays and partying. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Partying is wasting you money lol.
There is not much working class here can do as long as the gov lets rich ppl from other countries bring loads and loads of money in the our economy. The gov interest is to balance the books, they don't care what happen to us.
Soon we will be like Hong Kong where 90% of our income goes to meet ends need.
