My opinions (living here):
That salary, after tax, will be roughly $90k/year, and the bonuses will be $8k, $7k, after taxes (assuming top-rate on these bonuses).
Rent for a 2-bed (decent, central, downtown) apartment will run you at around $2500 to $3500 / mo (30-40k/yr). Living costs otherwise are reasonable relative to your income. You probably don't need to get a vehicle straight-away, and there are some car sharing services out there (to visit far places, like Whistler, etc.).
Negotiate extended employee benefits (health / dental) paid 100% by the company (excluding long-term disability) AND negotiate the payment of Medical Services Plan (gov't fee - appx. $150 / mo for family) - which I think you have to pay if you're a resident.
So on the surface, yes... I think you'd be "comfortable", but you're not going to feel rich.
Curious what other HN's think...
