For many Canadians, inflation doesn’t feel temporary — it’s a permanent part of life. That goes to say that Canada isn’t “expensive” by accident, but by design. With average Canadians expressing grocery bill shocks and expensive airfare, while students must pick between food, rent and textbooks, it has become clear that oligopolies are one of the biggest issues in Canada’s market.

On August 20, 2016, something rare happened in Canada: the country simply stopped. Streets emptied, bars filled and living rooms glowed blue with the light of televisions tuned to the CBC.

Considering your first year at university can cost as much as a decent used car, you might feel like you're paying to be stressed out. You’ll need to account for sprawling class sizes and massive lecture halls, hours of tutorials and seminars, five-dollar lattes and the mandatory purchases of expensive textbooks.
