As an American both aware, and has the means to do so, for a lot of things its kinda a wash. You get a 30% nominal discount, but a lot of shit is either 1) Marked up appropriately that theres no real difference after accounting for taxes or 2) due to general availability of things, you get gouged harder on Canada prices. Big example recently is furnace Air Filters. My wife needed some for her house. It was about 150 CAD for a pk of 6 on amazon.ca, picked up a similar box for 40 USD on amazon.com

Electronics are generally equivalent enough, Gas is generally (but not significantly) cheaper here if you keep an eye on prices (Fuck selling gas in liters and the fact that the price can swing 10 cents a day), fine dining and services are cheaper up there. Thrift stores are a steal up there. Most food is cheaper, but its not really an apples to apples comparison.

Damn. How do Canadians survive if prices up there are "basically a wash" in USD which is worth 30% more?

We poor, bro. We get taxed out the ass, and because the taxes are high means less consumer spending. So everyone jacks up their prices to offset the loss in units sold. On top of that wages are typically low, entry level is filled with the goblins, rent and housing are through the roof. Government employees keep going on strike to offset inflation they caused, which causes taxes to go up and the whole cycle repeats.
 
I have been trying to get a mortgage so I can buy property and it's fucking impossible. I am young but I have worked fulltime for over 7 fucking soul crushing years. Then while I'm in my banking app I see an advertisement by my fucking bank offering mortgages to newcomers(parasites). They don't need to show proof of stable employment or anything. This fucking sent up the fucking wall, they are deliberately making housing scarce by filling it with useless people that will contribute nothing so we can continue to be controlled and enslaved!
Refugees(parasites under a different name) literally get more benefits than people on pensions or disability. They get paid more money, given free fucking housing and they have contributed nothing. They don't work, pay taxes or benefit the country in anyway. Why am I paying for a pension that will not exist by the time I get to use it. The pension plan in Canada will literally be out of fucking money because they are giving pensions to old people moving here specifically to steal from our pensions.

I should not have to shop around for someone to give me the ability to buy a house. I have stable employment, good credit score, never had anything repoed, never been on welfare, I'm not black, I do not a have a criminal record. I literally think that they truly know something about how fucked we are and are refusing to help people get houses because they are either incompetent or simply just evil. They are handing mortgages to immigrants like tic tacs but somehow they can't help young Canadians.

You can thank Carney for drafting the insane and exclusionary mortgage laws Trudeau brought in in his first term when everyone just wanted to stop the Chinese from buying every house in Canada they could get their hands on.

Go into the trades unless you like the idea of working contracts for shit pay, surrounded by jeets, alternating with being on EI and having it run out before finding another job in IT.

Construction and most trades are being swarmed by jeets. But, at least on a construction site most guys aren't afraid to say racist shit out loud and call someone a faggot to their face. It's one of the perks of the job.

Honestly, if you shop at Superstore, you deserve that.

Split my time between there and Save On. Save On is very white, but fuck me is it expensive. Alternatives would be Freshco and No Frills. Freshco is okay, kinda brown customers, but white staff from what I remember. No Frills is downtown and full of liberal looking boomers and young people, also browns, kinda gross. Where do you shop then? lol
