Average price 1980 of single detached = $180,000, in 2023 = $1,956,000 (looking primarily at the Hotspot of Vancouver)
Interest high 1981 = 19.29%. If entire cost is mortgage, it works out to roughly $2917/mth at 25y amortization. Average family income is 30K, so 12x2917 / 30K = 116% or so going to home
Let's look at 2023. Interest now is 6.04. Lets buy a steal of a property at 1.5M. The payment is now $9701, same amortization. Average family income is 110k. 12x9701 / 110k = 105% of income going to home. | That math doesn't work 
It doesn't even take into account the down payment needed, and how long that takes to amass. Also neglects the other inflationary costs of current goods, education nowadays, etc.
It's not a simple conclusion to make with just the above.

I wish I was joking

Out of curiosity, I looked up the price for one night at Chateau Lake Louise during Xmas. It's a whopping $450 per night for their cheapest room. I suppose that shouldn't shock me but man, so much for that. I guess it'll just be a day trip if we visit Banff this Christmas (gf has never been).

Yeah I heard something about the ban on local driving. Maybe $450 is "cheap" but I ain't paying that for a local trip lol.

I haven’t seen a decent hotel under $350 in the last 3 years.

Depends on your definition of decent I suppose. Also depends on which country you're visiting. Japan for example, $350 is high and would give you a ton of options.

Sooo experts of RS, my buddy gave me this smoked fish and I didn't think to refrigerate it. It's vacuum sealed still but I left it under my desk (in a basement) for the last two months.
Should I eat it? Do I feed my family this? Are we all gonna get botulism and turn into vegetables?

If I did it myself. I’d trust it more, but I still wouldn’t do it. Rationally, and scientifically, if it was cured and smoked properly it’s safe. It was a technique for centuries for preserving.
I just don’t care to risk it.
So as an answer, it’s probably fine, but it’s not something I’d risk after sitting under a table, and not in a proper cool room.
