It is not complete, but there is enough data to give you an idea. You can even complete some of the missing prices yourself and improve the comparison.

Taxes and housing is MUCH MUCH more expensive in Toronto versus Portland. Without naming the type of "work" that you do, no one can tell you anything about the work environment. Every industry is different. As far as the living environment, again it depends. Both Toronto and Portland are very large cities. The living environment can change block to block.
