Canada

[AChimp]

Soundtest is right on all counts. I tend to take a lot of things for granted when comparing the two countries.

I don't think that everything outside of V/T/M is desolate, though. Maybe if you are used to living in a really big city, but places like Winnipeg, Calgary and Edmonton are good places to live with a decent amount of services (Calgary especially likes to act like a big city) and they are much cheaper. Admittedly, there aren't as many job opportunities outside of V/T/M.

Mod: That was $500 in Canadian dollars.
