I think you mean least expensive. No such thing as an affordable Canadian city.
When you can't see over your daily commuter and complain about the price of gas.
@@Roof_Pizza Did you mean to reply to me?
There is such thing is an affordable Canadian city. It's just most people don't want to live there cause there isn't enough jobs, good health care facilities and good universities
Just how poor are you to say that? Jesus christ I don't anyone outside Toronto or Vancouiver who ever complained, and they all just have one basic career job. I certainly always had it easy except when living in TO. You need to try it rather than take bad advice from youtube losers.
@@Roof_Pizza high again eh?
Brampton is the most affordable one, You just pay 200$ rent for one month, but only one condition you have to share with the other 40 roommates in that house🤣🤣
NDP/Liberal voters moving to Alberta, very dangerous on Alberta's future affordability
You guys are so funny today its really cute. For some odd reason you think the future will be exactly a today except for whatever issue the video we're watching is talking about. You make calculations for 2030 and 2040+ out of thin air :)
Sad 😔
Stock market loan interest will collapse the economy Labor and production must find support
The ones outside Canada now …..
Me? I'm from Ohio, USA
Nothing is affordable when a pound of butter is 8$
Cost of food is just as expensive in the USA
I've never paid more than $6, not even once.
It's on sale for $5 or $6 at one of my three regular stores every two weeks _at most._ Occasionally $4. And I mean good major brands, not NoName or whatever.
(The three stores are Lob., NF and FreshCo.)
@@dixonpinfold2582 I wish I had pricing like you brother
@@Observer168 I think it's worse in the US. I bought something from the States on eBay last month, something fragile, and they sent it wrapped in bubble wrap and their local grocery flyer.
I was totally gobsmacked. Based on the exchange rate of 1.35x, groceries here are cheaper by -10 to 20%,- easy. EDIT: Make that 15-35%. Meat, cheese, milk, cereal, packaged food, everything except maybe produce.
I think of minimum-wage earning Americans (especially those in $7.25-$12 territory) and feel extremely bad for them.
@@dixonpinfold2582 I heard the same thing, I heard food has become very expensive in California.
No where in canada. Govt was too busy doing nothing so no homes got built in 20 years.
they were busy replacing us!
235k is affordable but no one wants to live there cause they don't offer what other cities do
I've lived in Vancouver for 30 years, and the entire time I've lived here 'everyone is moving to Alberta'. The problem is the rest of the world is moving to Vancouver!
As an indo Canadian,
I agree
Reduce and restrict immigration
I know at least twenty people who have left Alberta for the west coast in the past five years. I'd do the same, if I could afford it.
Yet BC's population grew by 178,000 people in 2023. Metro Vancouver grew by 26,000 just in the past year. How in the heck can you build enough houses, hospitals and schools, hire enough health care workers, teachers and construction workers just to keep up?
Raise taxes and make sure the homeless population , natives,tree huggers, etc, etc are taken care of first
@@Mike-ys2rr Tree huggers? Nothing like revealing that you're an old guy!
I left Vancouver last month and moved to Montreal. Best decision of my life. NDP is behind, their crazy drug legalization policies, racist indigenous tribes, construction red tapes and housing problems and organized crimes are all behind as well. People in Vancouver are just fooling themselves with the view of distant mountains they visit once or twice a year. There isn't anything worth paying $3000 rent for a 1-bedroom apartment in Vancouver, the city of depression.
@@Marcus-ss4gn Ocean. Mild climate. Relative absence of crackpot religions. Cosmopolitan ethnic mix. I find all those worth paying for.
Mexico...
Does that expert-lady know that groceries double or triple in remote places, jobs are not available or totally underpaid and every trip to see a Dr.... can cost you huge money on gas as there is no public transportation ?
Just saying
Cheapest in Canada? 😂
Id say Cuba and Mexico
It's the people in gta that makes people want to move 😂
Everyone leaving the most expensive Liberal areas in Canada, for the more affordable and which happen to be Conservative areas, says a lot about which way of thinking knows how to run an economy
Pretty much.
No. It says a lot about how attractive Liberal and NDP areas are because people are interested in culture and beauty and education there. In Conservative places, you get the rodeo, tumbleweeds, crackpot religion, and hockey. Oh boy.
I live outside of Saint John, theres a reason houses are cheap... you'll get bent over on EVERY other expense.

Costs of homes vs jobs. Government is a joke
Great come to buy my town house in Edmonton so I can get the hell out of this NDP city.
Who in their right mind would live in Thunder Bay, ON when the crime rate is through the roof?!
It is more convenient to be homeless you get so many services for doing nothing
Most who say that they'll move to Edmonton.... have never been to Edmonton. LOLZ.
And here I was thinking you'd offer a thought but obviously your ideology left you with nothing so you said nothing.
@@ZenCorvus Who's the one that said nothing? Ask mom for your ribbon. Everyone disses Edmonton for good reason and it's more fun if you've actually seen it firsthand like I have.
I live in Ed and I love it here.What are you on about?@@Roof_Pizza
Built on Burnt Out Forest Land, it is now the most affordable land to build on.
Canada is not worth the cost,,, FJT
The most affordable places are where there are no jobs and good health care facilities and good universities
In context when I watched the biggest movie of the Year Oppenheimer you realize that major cities used to play a major part of consolidating a lot of talented people into one area
The people from Vancouver saying they wouldn't move because of access to the nature? I live in Calgary and only 1h away from the Rockies...
What's the drive time to the beach and ocean?
@@sessions9869 The best parts.
Please dont come to alberta. Its still affordable here
Affordable and cold and smoke-filled and run by religious high school drop outs.
Quebec is also affordable.
@@shauncameron8390 But that's basically a foreign country.
There ya go little gen-z babies, now you can stop your whining and stop makeing excuses for living with mommy and daddy in your twenties.
Arctic
Winnipeg is affordable too
I wonder why?😂
You can still buy brand new 3 bed 3 bath townhouses for under 500k in Winnipeg. Montreal, Quebec City, Calgary and Edmonton are still very affordable compared to Vancouver or Toronto.
Tuktayuktuk, Northwest Territories is cheap
Move to farm or village that will be cheapest place to live but no future opportunities for young generations, sad.
Metro Vancouver is priceless and I'm here to stay.
I'm from the island an I'd never move to Ontario but mayb anywhere else but if I was moving I'd rather start all over in a new country instead of being in lame Canada with easy laws an racist jerks who believe they should always come 1st....
The Battlefords Saskatchewan
Where there is no good paying jobs. Obviously
As in white-collar professional jobs.
Bisjkek isn't that expensive
Billions of untaxed foreign money pushed our real estate. Governments complicit.
Thundet Bay doesn't even have a competent police force. 😅
Isn't this the lady who 1-2 months ago that there is no recession?
Canada should have more housing. But the problem is the native American reserves that up a lot of land you can build on. They should start building housing on them and sell it out problem solved
Saskatchewan
The gov should try decentralization first. They put everything in city and ask people to move out. WT.
Because the city is home to the province/country's major trade routes.

In Canadian cities, several types of government offices are typically found, even if their operations do not require them to be centrally located. These include:
1. **Federal Government Offices**:
- **Service Canada Centres**: Provide a wide range of services including Social Insurance Numbers (SIN), Employment Insurance (EI), and passport applications.
- **Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) Offices**: Handle tax-related inquiries, audits, and services for individuals and businesses.
- **Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) Offices**: Deal with immigration applications, citizenship services, and refugee claims.
- **Veterans Affairs Canada Offices**: Offer support and services to veterans.
2. **Provincial Government Offices**:
- **Service Ontario/Service Québec/Service BC etc.**: Provide provincial services such as health cards, driver's licenses, vehicle registrations, and business services.
- **Provincial Tax Offices**: Manage provincial tax-related issues.
- **Ministry Offices**: Offices for various provincial ministries such as health, education, and transportation.
3. **Municipal Government Offices**:
- **City Hall**: Houses the city’s administrative functions, council chambers, and mayor’s office.
- **Municipal Service Centres**: Offer local services like permits, licenses, and community programs.
- **Public Works Departments**: Manage city infrastructure and public services.
4. **Specialized Agencies and Boards**:
- **Employment and Social Development Canada (ESDC)**: Offers employment services and social development programs.
- **Canadian Human Rights Commission**: Addresses human rights complaints.
- **Various Tribunals and Regulatory Bodies**: Include offices for labor relations boards, public utility commissions, and environmental review agencies.
5. **Law Enforcement and Judicial Offices**:
- **Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) Detachments**: Provide federal policing services.
- **Provincial Police Services**: Such as the Ontario Provincial Police (OPP) or Sûreté du Québec (SQ).
- **Courthouses**: Host federal, provincial, and municipal court proceedings.
These offices are often located in city areas to ensure accessibility for the public and to centralize administrative functions, even though some operations could potentially be conducted in less central locations.
I’ll never understand the hype of Vancouver. I worked there over the years, enjoyed some trips to the city, but I like the more rural and remote parts of B.C. I live in a small town on Vancouver Island, it’s still really expensive but not the hustle and bustle or cost of Vancouver.
The thumbnail for this video shows a bunch of houses that are probably too expensive, atomized yet all built close together with imported materials, and no healthy food sources within walking distance. To drastically lower cost of living and raise quality of life, why don't we try building sustainable communities consisting of Permaculture campgrounds, amphitheatres within constructed wetlands, long term and short term rentals made partly out of earth, aquaponics farms, by-donation places to eat, cardiovascular exercise centres where people can generate electricity and health data to raise value for themselves and their communities, work shops to make musical instruments out of reclaimed materials, geodesic domes for exercise and education, and post apocalyptic graveyard skateboard parks…along with a human-made mycorrhizal network consisting of apps to ensure safe housing, clean water, healthy food, quality education, and full health care for everyone, a community builder simulator to plan future development to be in harmony with the Earth and with each other, and a system of coming to the most logical and ethical solutions quickly...so kids and adults could earn a living wage from a place where they feel safe and loved, working towards an ensured basic standard of living for everyone, while achieving self actualization in the process.
No jobs isnt a problem if only the stupid companies not requiring employees to go back to the damn offices
Not affordable!!!
Not Atlantic Canada
Move to Alberta to smell more forest fire?
It only gets bad during election time. Look at the stats.
Saint John ?? 🤣🤣 You get an old home with the needing of major investments lol...Homes in NB went up by 40-45% the last 2 years, not to mention that Saint John is ranked second across Canada for property taxes. Get educated Global news.
Oh yea, just tell everyone. 😂
Thunder Bay? No thanks.
The rest area or backwoods unfortunately
Soon houses in these areas will go up twice as much as they cost now. Thank you Trudeau
Red Deer is a factory of sadness.
In the bush,everything free.
@@jumbome7420 Freeman of the earth, I do not obey your man made laws.
Quality of life doesn’t count…..Alberta is plain awful if you have ever lived in BC…..me I’d take quality any day….life is to short to endure crap weather and be stuck inside
You ethier believe in free market capitalism or you don't. Everyone does when it benefits them . There are cheaper places to live in Canada.
If you are home owner with no mortgage , which is a lot of Canadians has thus increase in house prices all been negative ?
If you are really unhappy here in Canada , please go , but leave the citizenship and health card at the door when you leave. When your alternate paradise doesn't work out , don't use Canada as a backup plan
Is Red Deer supposed to be bad?
It's a nice place.
Na but its better people think that way so it stays a good deal
I've been there many times. It's horrible.
@@TT-fq7pl I see. How so?
@@dixonpinfold2582 Sort of a grubby and depressing downtown. Maybe there are nicer areas farther from the highway, but being a stopping place for people driving between Edmonton and Calgary gives it a transient and unattractive vibe.
Good to know hey , I live in Wisconsin , dontcha know .
Calgary has the highest unemployment rate of the large cities. Immigration is destroying the city.
U r immigrant tooo😂
@@vikassharma8358 No, I am not an immigrant.
Buy a house in thunder Bay and watch its worth go downhill. 😂😂😂 And no one will buy it.
Don't come to alberta, please. It's becoming ruined
Thunder bay sucks i moved long ago at 18. No jobs plus crime. Worst place i ever lived in canada. 😂😂 Never going back even tho family there
Gotta love all the Karens in Canada. Figure out your lives.
The US
😆 🤣 😂 😹 😆
China
Thanks ndp and liberal voters.
You voted for higher costs and a do nothing leader who needed a deputy, which is immature and childish.
You voted for this 3 times and it's gotten worse each time so, go another round and finish us off?
And what exactly do you suggest as a serious alternative that would honestly make a difference? The Conservatives are nasty and cater to corporations and churches, so no solution there.
Delhi india
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡🤡 and how about work ?
😂😂😂no where idiots 😂
Supposed to be the most poorest city's 😂😂😂😂
No where?? Not unless you're a drug dealer 😂😂😂😂😂
