But, I assume the government in most places is the same lol

And for reference: Sweden in on a global 12th place in purchasing power. That's top 6% globally.

Our far north provinces are the cheapest to live in though. Rural areas are still cheap too. Our Prime Minister is a joke and our Provincial leadership system is majorly broken too.

Sweden's spending power index is 88, compared to Canada's 68. Everybody thinks they have it the worst, but that's not always true.

Same in Sweden , only what gets more money is rich politicans. Thats often I call it sick at main job and do black delivery job whit cash paid

If you weren;t set up to live in Canada pre-covid, good luck to you. Cost of living has gone up like crazy and our housing/renting market is out of control.

I am looking forward for spring floods when snow in a mountains and much further norh will melt.
