If you don't live with someone else (partner or roommates) you're going to have a bad time unless you make well above the average income for the city you choose.
There are still a few places that are more affordable, but they aren't particularly desirable locations (Saskatoon for example)
It's a medium-size city in the middle of nowhere basically. The land is so flat you can watch your dog run away for three days. It's not a desirable place so it's cheap.
