you make some good points Sid, some things are relative, comparing pure dollars to dollars is not always a total picture, your internet service for one is probably superior to most Canadians' home internet service and you are probably paying way less per month for it. having a roof over one's head, and enough food to eat, these things cost more in Canada, so you have to earn more to have the same basic things to survive, many people work hard in Vancouver and barely cover their rent and food for the month, and owning a house is an impossible dream for most (and if you do manage to finance into one, it turns into a lifetime of slavery to mortgage payments and utitlities). probably 90% of Canadians don't travel anywhere anyways, other than maybe a trip to the states or mexico a few times in their lifetime.
I know of immigrants that were unhappy in their home country, and then after a year in Canada are unhappy in Canada too. I sympathize with your comments about government, it is a hard time for transition and corruption is a problem more in some countries than others. I think if I have a warm flat to live in and good internet service and computer, and good quality food to eat, not have to work too hard for it, I should be happy.
Best of luck to you in fulfilling your dreams
