It certainly exists in Atlantic Canada even though Boomers mostly had to leave to find any job so houses being cheap wasn't relevant to most of them.

I do think it played out differently in Québec. In addition to what Big T said, in French Canada the rich people in your midst were out-group people: different schools, churches, social clubs, etc. Even in Arvida and Noranda that was the case.
In Florenceville NB sure most people were poor except for the McCains but those rich people were still part of the same in-group as the poors and not outsiders to their society.
