Heng arh! I am not as stupid as Jac Lau.

His lettuce size is twice ours.

His white chicken eggs are bigger than ours.

One bag of onions weighing 4kg costs $3.99

His 1 litre mango yogurt costs only $2.99

His 1.3 litre tube ice- cream costs only $3 to $7.

Canada has no inheritance tax.

But its income tax is very high relative to Singapore. From 15% to 33$ at the federal level. Then depending on which province one is working in, can be as low as 11.5% to as high as 25.75%.

Note that normally, the full income tax will be federal tax plus provincial tax so Canadians pay a lot of taxes. Their take-home pay is most probably less than Singaporeans' take-home pay. But Quebec is different. For Quebec, the federal tax is reduced by 16.5%. Not the tax rate, only the taxes is reduced.

Also doesn't mean one pays less tax in Quebec relative to other parts of Canada as the provincial tax is the highest in Canada at 25.75%.

Huh? The guy is saying that he expected Singapore to be expensive as Singapore is known to be expensive. Turned out that Singapore is cheaper compared to Canada for the exact same brands or the same type of food. He is not saying Singapore is cheap, he is saying Singapore is cheaper than Canada for those stuff.
