Hi, I am Luke.

I keep getting stuck on one question: how much does it actually cost? The truck in the neighbour's driveway. The house down the street. The kid.

So I go find the number. Somebody posts a figure with no source, and I go and find out who said it, what year it is from, which family it describes, and what it quietly leaves out. Statistics Canada, CMHC, the Bank of Canada, the CRA. Real data, drawn out one sketch at a time.

Sometimes the number is wrong. More often it is true, and it is answering a question you never asked. That one is more interesting.

No hot takes. No tickers. No "just skip the coffee". Just the number, and how to read it.

If you have seen a figure about the cost of living in Canada and it did not sit right, put it in the comments. That is where most of these start.
