I can work anywhere, and I often think about returning to Granby QC, a city of 65,000 about 45 minutes east of Montreal, where you can get a large 2-bedroom for $600/month. But calculating the trade-offs can be complicated. Lower housing, electricity, child care and car insurance costs on the one hand; higher income and sales taxes on the other. Age also matters; although the Quebec health care system is frankly stretched past its limits, its long-term care system is superior to what we have in Ontario.
