Sorry. I'm just trying not to get evicted due to living in a country with the highest rent, internet, food, and data plan prices.
Seeing that you’re from Canada, why is this so? Why is living in Canada so expensive relative to elsewhere?
The Economist explains it well in their article Australia and Canada are one economy—with one set of flaws. The competition regulators in both Australia and Canada aren’t doing their job, allowing oligopolies to form.
It’s a type of endemic corruption and Transparency International should start calling it out.
