[QUOTE="rickyb, post: 3786998, member: 56035"] so theres a real french man who runs a crepe place down the block. i asked him which country has a higher standard of living? maybe unsuprisingly, with thier 6+ weeks paid vacation a year, and 35 hours work week (or less in southern france), he said france has a higher standard of living than canada. he said food here is cheaper but lower quality (ditto for US food obviously). he pays $1 / mth for unlimited text long distance and calling on his french phone plan. thats unheard of here. i pay $10 and i dont get any of those, and i just abused a corporate representative and got a $10 credit. he says flights are cheaper, said $20 or $30 round trip to go from france to italy, spain, germany. i just looked it up it worked out to 10x as much here compared to france. i think most interesting for canada is alot of people have taken on alot of debt as our debt to income is about 170%. so im guessing it will be a disaster when the economy goes to :censored:s. the store owner said he thinks alot of people are using credit cards / too much credit. he says in france you have one card, but its your money thats on it, your not borrowing. a different day, he compared afghanistan to america with the mass shootings....im pretty sure afghanistan is not comparable to america.
