AKW,
does the company subsidy the medical? It is not all pay by your own pocket, right?
yes, the grocery may be cheaper in Canada, but other than that, US will be cheaper as the buying power is 10 times bigger than Canada. eg, we bought a car seat for $150 and I see the same model in Kmart is only $90! I cant go to US, so I have to pay more eventhough I know it is cheaper to buy it in US. Besides, we need to add 14% taxes on top of almost everything while US doesnt charge so much, right?
It is like working in HK or working in China. Everything in HK is expensive but it is still worth to work in HK as the salary is much more.

xother,
Even the salary might be higher in the States, but we have to pay for the expensive medical expenses and other stuff. My friend (the one who lived in Toronto, but also stayed in the states for a few months) told me that everything is more expensive in the states than in Canada, even groceries. So, wouldn't it be the same at the end?
