So, in another thread, lots of sidetracking was going on about the difference in prices [[and taxes) between Canada and the US.

So I thought why not start a thread that compares.

I'm starting by using a cost-of-living aggregator [[website) and using it to compare Windsor vs Detroit.

As I live in Toronto, I can not attest to its accuracy and some of the prices it suggests made my eyebrows arch............

But I put it out there as a starting place.
