$250 for power? $110 for water? $280 for internet? $130 for car insurance?

How is this even real? LOL
Seems pretty standard for the costs of living in the land of leafs. Assuming internet is for home and phone.

Everything in Canada is a monopoly. We pay a hundred bucks for home internet and usually close to a hundred for data on phones.
 
That's crazy. How much is a kilowatt-hour over there? I pay close to 40 eurocents, and my monthly bill amounts to around €75. I'm not running a server farm, after all.
Depends where you are. I pay nearly nothing for electricity. I can't tell you my exact usage since I'm overseas atm but it's roughly 63$ every three months. (Roughly 14ish euro per month).

When I was living in Alberta it was anywhere between 100-200 a month (depending on the season). Electricity and insurance vary wildly across provinces while commodities like internet are constant. Overall the EU has the same prices as Canada for most things (least where I am) but that doesn't take into account how much stronger the Euro is to the Canadian dollar.

I thought that was more or less the case, yes. Still, an Internet connection is a lot cheaper, too. 280 canuck dolla would be 160 euro. No one pays that much here.

Well we only have Comcast. They effectively made it a one choice provider with different distributors.
I've a pay as you go plan here and it seems absurdly cheap compared to what I'm used to.
 
Was it always like this? Or only after Justin Trudeau?
Always least from what I recall... there are weird exceptions. For example growing up the province I was in had government owned telecommunications and I payed an absurdly low price for Internet. It was bought out by Comcast but and I could be wrong here. That happened under Harper.

I know another province with government owned insurance that is also cheap that to my knowledge still operates to this day.

Utilities vary wildly across each province. Internet is universally expensive and monopolies existed before Trudeau.

The biggest thing making Canadians broke is housing and that's tied to having a massive imported population.

Oh yeah I know the Jeets fucked up everything and that was mostly under Trudeau. It had started earlier but the onslaught after COVID made prior immigration look like nothing.

Pretty much. Canada was poorer but... I'm struggling how to describe this... not uncomfortably poorer?

You could get a decent home or an affordable rent fairly easy. You were undoubtedly worse off then an American of equal status but the difference was in a few hundred dollars a month. Not thousands.

obviously an education is a great thing but having it put on a pedestal with every single member of society expected to go to college and do something white collar has done more damage to society than many seem to realize (birthrates being one of them)
 
I also think there's something fundamentally broken in boomers. My parents seem to lack some part of their humanity. Zero emotional intelligence, thoughtless comments and actions, no real foresight or consideration for anything. Is it lead for real? Something happened to these people. This can't be how normal people were back then.

Try having a boomer husband and wife as business partners. It nearly killed me before they finally let go at 70+ so I could run the business on my own. The greed never stops with them and hey still think prices and salaries are/should be what they were in 1989.

I seriously have no patience for anyone over 65 still working in a professional position. Most of the time they are doing nothing in that position that is actually producing work other than being the "figurehead" and castigating everyone else who is not worshiping them as business masters and the only ones who dared take a risk, or whatever else they come up with.

It's just extreme narcissism. They spent their entire lives believing that all of society was created specifically for their benefit.
 
Another thing I noticed, is that Boomer women haven’t aged gracefully, like at all.

Greatest Gen aged gracefully, usually skinny old ladies who felt wise.


Boomer women? They are either fat frog mouthed- psuedo dykes with a waist and or legs with the circumference of a redwood tree or super skinny horse faced wenches who will go SSReyes mode the moment you bring up Trump.
