That article is over 2 years old. Might wanna check an updated version.

Canada will never make any top 10 list again, as long as the media makes us look like a bunch of indian hating racists.

Since we have a law called 'the indian act', its not as inappropriate as you think.

Wrong about what? Unless you define "a major city" as New York City (and even then you're probably wrong) you've just proven yourself wrong.


Add:

1. Washington DC
2. San Francisco/San Jose/Oakland
3. LA
4. San Diego

While you're right that he made a massive generalization that's wrong in many parts of the country, there is a big chunk of the country that does fit his generalization.

Back in the States, any house within driving distance of a major city for less than half a million would either be an unbelievable bargain or a death wish (i.e. a scary neighborhood).


Where the heck are you from? California? Average home prices in most of the US, even major cities, is well under $500,000.


So yes, I know California has outrageous home prices. But once you've denied Chicago "major city" status, you're pretty much left with just NYC.

There is just a best way to live.
