:blink: I'm looking around here in Ottawa, and couldnt beleive the price differences just across the border. 1500sq/ft house is litteraly 50-70K cheaper in quebec.
But then I looked into it some more.
In my tax bracket I lose 24% of my pay RIGHT AWAY.
Property taxes & Car insurance is cheap, but then your looking at $250.00/every 2 years for license plates, $100/year for Quebec License plate INSURANCE (You have to get the quebec insurance ontop of your own). Then their is the old "Welcome to Quebec" Tax, which is literally:
"Heres my $600.00".
"Heres you tour guide book of Quebec, Welcome to Quebec!!" :rolleyes:
Then, for me to enter the cars in Quebec, all 3 of them need a safety check, and etest before being registered in the Belle Province.
I'm gonna stay in Ontario. :lol:
