A quick verification reveal that at 100k you pay 33% income tax in Quebec, and this is before any deductions. Education is very affordable at about 3k/year for university.

House are out hand tho, but this is more related to older generation greed than gouvernement..

The point is that EU countries with comparable taxes (or even slightly lower) that offer free dental, drugs and university.

And the house prices absolutely can be pinned on governments, we're one of the few countries globally that allows non residents to buy property.
