Looking at the housing market really has me considering leaving Canada.

Come to Alaska. It's that happy middle of Canada upsides with less than normal US downsides.

well don't come to the US, it's no better here
Haha it's better than here for sure. I've looked at the listings. I likely wouldn't move there for other reasons though.

I thought it was all corporations, glory to them, which leased us poors houses at wonderful prices!!

Edit:
Forgot to add serious talking points.
Housing market sucks completely across the board which is really rough. Sure there are some places but usually it's miles from anywhere out in the middle of empty land or in super small towns with little to offer in some circumstances.
Haha, I'm a firm believer of banning foreign nationals from buying property. There's no reason for it. I wouldn't even mind living out of town, there's just very little available. I'll probably wait another year and see what's happening then.

Haha one of my coworkers just came back from a posting there. She said she loved and hated it. I'd avoid it for the bears. One of my irrational fears

I like the idea of the Narwal, but $1,600 for a vacuum cleaner is a tough idea to swallow.

I consider $180 to be expensive for a vacuum cleaner, and that's about my limit unless there's something that's super compelling about it. But it's a vacuum cleaner, so I doubt that would ever happen.
Ehhh. $180 gets you a mediocre vacuum, unless you get it on sale. I got mind for $180 down from $550. It's undeniably significantly better than cheaper vacuums; the amount of extra dirt it picks up is honestly a little disturbing.

We have two different definitions of mediocre then.

I still can't believe narwhals are real tbh.

The Rivian R2 is the first electric vehicle that's really peaked my interest.
Though I still think the segment as a whole is destined for failure.

Yes I'm aware. Who cares? Clearly I do. I need the towing capacity. A Sprinter van is 3 feet longer than a Cayenne, it also can't go offroad. I don't feel like driving something that large all the time.
The vehicles you listed can't go offroad. Can't tow. A8 can't carry as much internally. Not very multipurpose.
Saying no one cares about SUVs is so blatantly false it's laughable. If that were true, they wouldn't exist.
Stop trying to push your views onto everyone as if they're fact
You didn't understand my point. You were making the point that SUVs were fun to drive. I'm telling you that no one ever bought an SUV for fun, because no one cares about that in an SUV. And that is what I meant with no one cares about SUVs. They're just like any other car, but in a shitty tall chassis.
And on top of that no one does care in Germany about towing or load capacity. Again, if they were, they'd get a Sprinter, which is shorter than a Cayenne with a Trailer and much much cheaper.
If you actually take your SUV off road, cool, I bet there are dozens of you. In Germany no one does. Literally no one and no one tows more than 1-2t with a car here. If you want to get shit done here, you rent an appropriate car for the job.
The vehicles I listed, I didn't list because they are particular good at towing or going off-road. Again, you didn't understand my point.

Not true, but believe what you like.
I'm not sure why you think I care what Germans do, as if that's some kind of benchmark for me.
I didn't understand your point because it's rather pointless.
