Fun fact: If you were a Canadian living in the 1970's, the Canadian dollar (CAD) was worth more than the US dollar (USD) for most of that decade, so it was worth the trip for Canadians to travel across the border to go shopping in US stores to save themselves oodles of money on everyday products.
Another fun fact: Canadians still go across the boarder for deals. Or did, before COVID. My parents would buy groceries because, even counting the price difference, things just plain cost less there. Plus Americans have a lot of things in bulk, so you can get more things for less money. When I lived in America for a while, they had 20 piece McNugget combos for five bucks. That's wild to me. I want that in my life.
Being Canadian sucks.
If you had a better understanding of US economics/standard of living versus Canadian economics/standard of living, you wouldn't be saying that.
As a small example: The starting salary for a teacher in the USA is about $25,000/year. The starting salary for a teacher in Canada is about $50,000/year. If you're making $25,000 per year that $5 McNugget combo doesn't seem so cheap like it would if you were making $50,000 per year.
