There is a reason for this! Booze and smoke is heavily taxed by the Canadian government, because it is proven that these items have a general impact on the population health, and health care is governmental. So, the healthier the population the less health cares costs.
Just asking out of curiosity, if you hate it so much, then why don't you pack and move south?
I've never lived in the US but from a dozen times that I have traveled south I figured they make more money, it is warmer down there and jobs are less scarce.
I think it is more a matter of choice (or taste) to live up here, or down there. So, Victoria doesn't seem to make your clock tick, then why are you stuck up there?
