Try South Africa... We pay minimum 3 times more than anyone else for any product. Always the same excuses too, import costs, blah blah blah. Yet if I pay stuff from over seas and bring it in import costs are ridiculously low and I still spend half of what I'd pay in S.A itself. It's just a means to make more money always. Let's face it, no big company(and for that matter, rich person) ever got rich by NOT exploiting people and Africa is one of the most exploited places out there. Heck, some of our best fruit gets exported to the UK leaving us with the crap and we still pay twice as much for it. It even includes things like broadband connectivity where we end up paying 10 times more for speeds 25 times slower! I haven't been to Australia, but I do have some family that moved there and they reckon it ain't so bad in terms of pricing, perhaps that is because they still view it in terms of Australia vs South Africa and not like you(a life long citizen? ) would view it, America/Canada vs Australia. Oh well, enough of my rambling.

The costs of social programs have to be subsidized somewhere. You guys pay more for just about everything, your hospital parking fees are absolutely outrageous, you have almost no consumer protection laws (you don't even have a basic lemon law for bad cars), and scammers completely run amuck. Both countries have their flaws, I'm just glad that you guys actually show the issues Canadian's suffer from to shatter the illusion that it's the "Promised Land" that every unhappy American dreams of.

I was in Vancouver BC in late January 2017. The Canadian dollar was at .75 to the US dollar. So we got some good deals on the items we bought and the food we ate. We did not by gasoline for the rental car which was good.

I wish someone would tell Katelyn that it's a lot cheaper to just repair the car than buy a new one.
@jarredleverton4998
8 жыл бұрын
Debatable. If the engine truly is shot, (and we assume Katelyn isn't a professional mechanic with access to a shop), then the price of a full rebuild, or an engine pull and swap can both end up costing a significant portion of the cost of a new car, and can (and almost always ALWAYS does) lead to chain reaction failure in other systems down the line. From a longterm economic standpoint, unless you have the knowledge and tools to do it yourself, buying new is almost always the better option than an engine rebuild or swap. You rebuild a shot engine because you have a sentimental attachment to the vehicle, not because it's the best investment of your money.

Buy a pre-owned car with low mileage, But even an engine swap would still be cheaper than 20k for a new car lol, it's not like your dropping a v8 jaw-dropping motor in the thing. I mean is it worth it? I would say no, them VW bugs are cheap and are not meant to last. I'd find a pre-owned car with low mileage for as much as it would cost to fix that VW, at least in the US you can find them private dealerships that deal with low mileage cars for as much as it would cost to replace the motor and they would probably sell to Canadians.

Snoopy Schulz Right! Had a quote of $2100 USD to replace the 3.1 v6 motor in my aunts Monte Carlo (Broken camshaft). Or it could cost around $1500 to rebuild the old engine, with new valves and bearings. We ended up doing it out selfs for little under $300 bucks lol and some free time. It still way way cheaper then a new car, and the Monte carlo has only 125k miles, so it worth saving.

Even if it cost 1/6 of the price of a cheap new car, why would someone rebuild an engine on a car like that. You have no idea what you're talking about. Once the engine is seized in a car like that, it's basically only good for parts or scrap. Depending on the age, mileage, etc of course.

Target employees in Washington earns on average $1 more per hour than Canadian targets based on wages paid to low tier employees. Management position holders wage gaps is in the thousands. The issue lies with logistics and cost of doing business in Canada. You can’t have a highly regulated + welfare state and expect lower prices. CBC gets an F for honest news.

MrFakit That's for people foolish enough to live in shitty states that have those taxes. Move to Florida and there's no state or local taxes like they have for those idiots who want to live in places such as New York. They think that they are getting rich by making a little bit more money. When you do the math and see how much rent and taxes are, they are getting ass-pounded so bad. 39% is only for those people making like $200,000 per year. 90% of the US makes $40,000 or less. I think I paid like 12 to 15% in federal making a 6 figure income.

Now, let's do some math. Canada vs. US. Climate, population, territory. Canada is 1/10 of the population with much harsher weather and with bigger territory. That means smaller market, more ground to cover, more energy to use and more logistics to be worked out. But this much of a difference? That comes down to consumer advocacy groups not being as strong in Canada as they are in the US.
