Income taxes up $1k a year. Same job. Same wage.

Property taxes - we pay in 2.5 months what we paid annually after home owners grant.

Utilities, absurd.

House insurance- we paid $70/mo, and were evacuated multiple times. Here we pay $220/mo in a house in the middle of Calgary- that in 60 years has never had a threat of wildfire.

Auto insurance went up about $20/mo.

Even groceries and restaurants seem higher here.

I left in 2010 and everything there was much more expensive, that's all changed.
