If Canada is a more expensive country property wise and otherwise - is the US a better country to live in?

Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world so just asking for the whole country is the first problem. Housing prices will vary from location to location, good place to good place. In the big cities like Vancouver, Toronto, Montreal, etc... you will not get a house for that much period, more like 3-6 times that amount.

Small towns harder but maybe on the outskirts. Prices will not go down in the next 10 years, more likely go up. You will pay electricity, gas/propane (maybe), water, sewage, garbage, cable, internet, phone, property taxes, and possible HOA fees.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
