Canadian Minimum Wage

Compared to the US, are Canada’s wages more livable or less? I see that most minimum wages are based off of provinces.

I am sure it’s not like this in all parts of the state, but living close to a city it’s pretty much mandatory. Do people in Canada make enough money to afford the insane cost of housing and do they have adequate low income housing? I will say the US is absolutely terrible when it comes to access to low income housing, although that can also vary by state and city, but overall i think affordable housing in America is really bad. Just wanted to find out an firsthand knowledge on the situation between living in the US vs living in Canada.
