9700k on Amazon.com costs $408 usd which with current exchange rate is $543 cad. Amazon.ca is selling 9700k for $510 cad.

>replying to post complaining about value
>posts anything Intel related

Blame the faggot Tradeau you shits elected

The 3800x is launching for $399 usd which is still more than $510 cad and both cpus have very similar performance.

You lot have it good

I'm Canadian, but have been living in Spain for a year now. They get shafted pretty hard here too. I bought a book on amazon ca for $40 CAD - I checked how much it costs in Spain..it's also forty...euros. Maybe it's imported from the US though.

You can convert however you want, the main issue remains that salaries are pretty much equal, even though the CAD is worth less than the USD so Canadians always end up paying 33% or so more for everything.

Tell Justin to adopt the USD.

>trudeau controls the exchange rates

lmao brainlet

a fucking leaf

canada gets shafted on literally everything compared to the states
mass migration to canada has caused low wages and incredibly high housing costs, at the same time the cost of goods has increased across the board and canadian politicians are raising taxes
absolute cuckoldry, canada born canadians are fleeing to the usa or any other country at record numbers while at the same time the canadian government ramps up immigration numbers higher and higher every year

Trudeau fucks up trade all the time. The steel and canola thing especially. Where do you think the exchange rates come from?

On the tech side he is fucking running the tech sector into the ground. He is more rapped up in diversity politics than actual tech. A fuckload of gov't money was siphoned into this garbage. This scares actual tech companies from investing in Canada. We would be miles ahead if he just stayed the fuck out of it.

the fact is the USA is cheaper than the rest of the world except for parts of asia when it comes to tech, canada would be the same if it didn't fuck itself so hard. personally I'd rather be absorbed into america than continue down the path canada is going. wages are higher, you don't pay taxes to take care of poor people, and both services and goods are incredibly cheap.

>something is worth 500 usd
>or about 450eu
>actually costs +650eu
why

Says the americuck?

You know your country is below 56% white now right?

Are you from Alberta? Because last I heard there was a movement in Alberta to leave Canada and either be their own country or even be the 51st US state.

And, since Canada is a confederacy, each of its provinces are sovereign and can leave at any time.

I'm canadian you dumb fuck, we started off at 95% white in 1990 and we're down below 75% now due to taking well over triple the immigration per capita of the USA. canada is taking more immigrants than anywhere in the world per capita and it's fundamentally changing the country. low wages, high costs. every single political party in canada wants mass migration and nothing is changing. the brain drain for stem is double what it was 10 years ago due to wage stagnation from immigration and outrageous housing costs.

I'm from BC, but I'm trying to leave because I can't afford to live where my family has lived for 5 generations unless I rent until my parents die.

Because ur nation is full of fat ignorant fucks and the other half are drug addicts

Berta here. That sovereign alberta movement is a short lived meme. The ucp was just elected (Conservative) and many think they'll lower taxes etc.

Even here we get retarded Somalians (etc) who feel entitled to the things Canadians pay taxes for, and then hey have the gall to bitch about the cold weather.

Getting a good education then leaving. It's much worse up here from an economic standpoint, no matter what your American Communist Left say about LOLDRUMPF.

name at least two Canadian people who contributed to technology

we are getting shafted on everything, including food big time, soon we won't have any energy to use a fucking computer.

stop being poor

Not people but RIM and Nortel

Even if you tried your best, you just can’t compete with the amount of Chinese flooding the west coast. When the kids come over here with 2 to 3 million in the bank, ready to scoop up condos at 150% of the price, what chance does your measly 250k down payment have? And good luck even getting that, most software jobs here pay 70 to 80k whilst having living costs comparable to San Francisco. The Canadian housing situation is so cucked it isn’t even funny.

Ohh, the chinese kids will also study at your schools, pouring in millions in tuition, and then take those 80k jobs from you as well. They don’t need the money, but fuck what else is the kid gonna do? There are more millionaires being made every year in China then there are people in Canada period. Toronto is just as big of a shithole, don’t even get me started on the debt of Ontario. Canadians want low taxes, and high services while ignoring debt. Fucking morons.

At least you don't go bankrupt seeing the doctor or have to make healthcare choices based on the fact that you don't have insurance.

American that fucking hates Canada here but what about Theo De Raadt?

linus sebastian torvalds

Same in the UK. £/$ parity, plus a levy of £50 per item when it comes to PC components. Fucking doodles have it nice.

the problem then isn't computer part prices, brainlet. it's the average salary. but that's more than offset by the lower average cost of living, social programs like free health care, ctb, etc etc. either way, you are a retard OP.

Yeah, everyone has equal healthcare, where the doctor tells you to take an asprin for cancer. Fuck off with your shit. I am an American with no healthcare and I'd rather risk getting hit by a car than having even MORE of my money STOLEN from me by the government when I can barely afford to survive in the first. I take good care of myself so the likelihood of me needing a serious operation before I'm out of college is very low. If someone bludgeons me with a rake before then, oh fucking well, I guess hell ain't that bad compared to Florida.

>when I can barely afford to survive in the first

your live by the paycheque. live for now/forget about tomorrow mentality is why you're struggling and why you'll always struggle your whole life. if and when you get struck by serious illness (which no one, even people who "take good care of themselves" are completely immune from), you had better hope it outright kills you.

you know that the vast majority of stem employees have their healthcare fully covered right, as in its not taxes or an additional cost it's just more income
you know tech pays 3-4 times more than in canada right, even outside of sv and nyc , and living costs are lower right
canada is fucked

please go away. Gays are not welcome in this thread

If we had medicare for all nothing would fucking change you would have any doctor you want, supplemental if you wanted (like you can get now if you are on medicare), you just wouldn't have to pay out the ass for it. "Buh afford it".
We already can without fucking with 99 percent of people's taxes, and just adjusting spending priorities. Aka nothing in your life would fucking change except the bill you get.

Wouldn't need to have your insurance connected to your job or have the employer have to cover you at all saving THEM money too if we had Medicare for All.

if you had medicare for everybody taxes would go up and you'd be paying more to cover poor people. the american system is great if you want to get rich and are middle class or higher. canada has the worst healthcare of any western country now and it's getting worse even though we pay much more in taxes.

cause exchange rates retard

just stop being a poorfuck

See

>Aka nothing in your life would fucking change except the bill you get.
>Things don't cost money
I'll tell you a secret Sherlock, the more money the government subsidizes for healthcare the more they will raise their prices because there's NOTHING stopping them, that's why most life saving operations that are simple coast so much goddamn money while privatized stiff like boobjobs which are INCREDIBLY complex operations cost so little in comparison. You are not entitled to a single cent of my money. The individual mandate from the Obama administration caused me to literally be homeless for nearly half a year, something you likely can't say for yourself. Take your commie bullshit and shove it up your ass.

you americans don't know how good you have it and are begging to change to a failing system. americans should look at canada and realize how bad it is.

That was a right wing healthcare plan if you did your research, nor was that even socialized medicine it was a corporate giveaway.

I don't want a healthcare plan no matter what wing you classify it as. I have a permanent stomach disorder now from being homeless due to your beloved government healthcare. You're grasping at this point. Eat shit Canuck niggerfaggot.

>caused me to literally be homeless for nearly half a year
Kill yourself you useless shitfuck, stop trying to get internet sympathy. If you are that worthless to society, it's not society's job to give you handouts.

>opinion

You wouldn't be giving a "single cent of your money" and you don't get to choose where your damn taxes go if it did I wouldn't be supporting subsidies to fucking oil companies and other corporate giveaways, funding pointless wars (some wars are needed), etc.

>If you are that worthless to society, it's not society's job to give you handouts.
t. Gated community faggot
I worked as a welder for many years before I was a student. I've done more for this country than you could ever dream of you little shitfuck, and I'm only 26. You can grasp all you want, but it won't change the fact that your time is coming, commie. There are more like me, and they are everywhere in greater America.

Most polls have majority of the country supporting medicare for all, bernie went on fox and was cheered for medicare for all by RIGHT WINGERS, you can't fucking stop it.

so you're a poor failure in the wealthiest country in the world with the highest wages and you want other people to pay for you

yeah, an opinion on the reasons why canada came to be objectively low worst healthcare. I guess you can't read though.

>Friend in Canada's PC is dying
>Wants to put together something cheap to last him a couple years. Mostly browsing and light gayming.

Ok this is actually a big problem. I could do it here easy but unless I really land him a shit heap this isn't happening.

>Doesn't know dif between fact and opinion

just have him buy it in america and drive it across the border

Like we in america have to do for medication in caravans. healthline.com/health-news/why-people-are-driving-5-hours-to-canada-for-insulin

Nice bait. Hope the Jow Forumsfags get gassed.

The majority of the developed world has universal healthcare.

the majority of the world pays more taxes and has lower wages. put 10% of your gross income into healthcare premiums and you can simulate it. that's your choice.

kill yourself, you were out competed by robots/chinks

stop asking for welfare to kill your shitty life going

Wow, aren't you retarded, placing your worth as less than what you have in your pockets

>The majority of the first world countries also has higher quality of life and less disparity between rich and poor people,

Ah, yes, the famously excellent ability for governments to make an industry efficient in the complete absence of price signals, under the careful stewardship of infallible philosopher-kings who would never overlook corruption, participate in it themselves, or simply be incompetent, and would never continue to fail to do a good job year after year as they operated through force and left the little people with no other choice.

Oh, wait. Systems like that routinely have trouble feeding people even in agriculturally-fertile countries. Shit. Better memory-hole those articles saying that Venezuela's system was real socialism and we should adopt it.

I love Toronto

Why does whiteness matter?

>build new gaming rig in canada in preperation for Cyberpunk 2077
>used up all your savings and have no money to buy food
>no longer have mental capacity to use a computer due to starvation
Don't you get it op, fun is only allowed for the rich captalists, go complain to the local mp for equal gaming rights.

Just identify as a refugee and you will get enough free money to play games. Remember vote conservative.

Toronto is pretty based if you want to fuck Asian girls or have parents that bought a home a long time ago, but if you are looking to just start your career and have to work downtown you either pay 2k for a studio and 10 minute commute or 1.5k for a one bedroom with an hour and a half commute. Also, the amount of crackheads downtown is growing exponentially. Personally, I’d like to move to Calgary but even that city is being exploited already.

I fucked a lot of asian girls and now I'm disgusted with myself, whenever I see white men with asian girls I feel gross

I worked in a grocery story for a while
I've seen how these "people" shop for food
Most of them deserve no sympathy, at least for this.

the dollar is shit because of the conservative policies put in place by harper that raped the country. It was shit before Trudeau was elected. It hasn't been "strong" since like 2009 when the US was in shambles because of the '08 financial crisis

PC parts are a luxury in Canada.

Fertilize the rice, pay the price

I'll admit most people can't into budgeting but even if you do, its not something to brag about. I've already reduced my consumption to soviet tier levels. You are left with canned food and essential grains, eating the same food everyday, its not how it should be in a first world country. The only way you can afford anything more is with credit, which is why everyone is in debt to uphold their middle class lifestyle. Its always been this way for Canadians as long as i can remember it (the 90's), my friends in the US always had better computers, and cars than I ever did.

what raped the country is mass immigration. that started with old trudeau and the conservatives but now everybody is pushing it because big business loves low wages and high prices.

the price in this case is feeling like a scumbag taking advantage of naive asian girls and then seeing tons of other white guys doing it

he could raised the interest rates to 20% to make canadian dollar strong

>it's also forty...euros
Yes, they do the conversion that way, the same price in dollaroos is in euros.

>Fuck the Canadian dollar.
>Fuck Monopoly money.

That's what you get for not exporting your inflation at the barrel of an aircraft carrier.

Let's not forget the Jews want white genocide too.

That's because there's also >20% VAT in every EU country, so that kind of conversion actually makes sense.

thats easy to solve just get a politician in power willing to get rid of quotas.

>scumbag

LMAO fuck off you reddit faggot. If ever there was a glownigger post for redditors pretending to actually have an opinion, it would be now.

Think you need to get back on the meds lad.

politicians in canada overwhelmingly support big business interests and little else

I guess I check both those boxes then. My parents own a condo there I used to live in when I was younger and I also want to fuck Asian girls (not white so I'm chillin). I actually lived in Calgary for a couple years after I moved from Toronto it's pretty shitty in my opinion.

your parents only have a condo and you're from there? damn you must be poor as hell

Can confirmed was at the meeting of the elders of Zion when they decided fuck Canada.

I'm pretty rich but we were poor when we lived there. Come a long way I guess

post the in store prices

>politicians in canada overwhelmingly support big business interests and little else
you mean the politicians get bribes from J.D Irving, who essentially runs the government.

You watch CBC too?

The Vega 56 is like only $20-30 below the RTX 2060 in Canada. It's pretty fucked. We also don't have a large selection of monitors for whatever reason.

Are those prices from the fucking Yukon or something? I've never seen any of that at such a high price, not even in resort municipalities out west like Whistler village.

I have an aunt who lives in niagara on the lake with an american po box and I buy all my stuff through her, canadian prices fucking suck I want out of here

consequence of a petrostate, dutch disease

Canada number one.
