You can always find outliers. Just glad I don’t have to pay American prices, that’s all. But have fun continuing to tell yourselves that you’re doing so great.

Everything is priced the same. And it’s Detroit, Minneapolis, Austin, LA, and 100 people towns everywhere. The US prices are the same as the Canadian prices, despite their dollar b…

I’m Canadian, but frequently travel in the US. Over the past year I am also shocked at US prices. It used to be that everything in the US was about 25% cheaper (makes sense as thei…

And just for context … if medication is not covered and has to be paid out of pocket, the cost is generally under $100. Canadians don’t have $1000 medical costs

Canadian (OHIP recipient) here. As a long time employer, and former employee, I can tell you that no one takes a job here for the heath care. Some things like dental and vision are…

This is most likely to do with changing viewing habits. Very little YouTube is watched on a monitor anymore. In fact for most channels it is 40% mobile, 40% on a TV and 20% other. …
