Nightlife is not applicable, as I hardly went out, moreover I was at some friends'. Cost of living is extremly high in Canada except everything that has to do with energy. This is also the reason, why the accomodation cost was lower. Travelling is also much more expensive because of the long distances and poor municipal transportation facilities.

Food is very expensive. In autumn there are some stands where farmers offer vegetable and fruits which is not that expensive. Fish is also affordable. Look at special offers and buy stockable goods in advance (cornflakes, flour,...).
