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.

"Standard of living for today's generation has deteriorated more in B.C. than any other part of the Country".

This is a very interesting reading... 24 Hours Vancouver

Vancouverites need to get pay at least $18.81 a hour to live in Vancouver.

What do you expect when rich immgrants came to Vancouver to jack up everything.

JDął 10-18-2011 11:49 AM

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.

LOL T&T is actually more expensive than superstore @@ so good job on spending more.

Try Crystal mall or Costco.

I make 6 figures and even my total tax bill including HST and income tax is not 50% of my income. In fact my income tax is $3K lower than Ontario.

You must be headed to Alberta.

i saw you thank and fail his post at the same time and i was :fulloffuck:

dinamix 10-18-2011 02:58 PM

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.

Mr.HappySilp 10-18-2011 03:09 PM

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.
