Canadians are now richer than Americans!

Thanks for the sharing great information and it is due to the good and taken preventive measures which were taken by the Canadian government and now every citizen has much income as compare to the US.
 
Canada has now surpassed America regarding the average wealth of the average citizen. How they did it was a mixture of fiscal conservatism and socialism. Canada wasn't as hurt and most other countries because in the face of calls for less regulations, the Canadian government tighten regulations for banks. At the same time, Canada cut back on social programs.
This all goes to show that there isn't just one way to avoid/solve/address potential and real problems. Both liberals and conservatives can point to something that helped Canada emerge economically sound.
Of course that concept will never work in the US because both the left and the right refuse to approach problems in a bipartisan manner. Nope, the right and left would rather that the US flounder and fail than to act like real folks that love their country more than their failed ideologies.
There's a real life lesson to be learned, but alas, the hard core right and left will continue to be more polarized than ever and let America fail.

They don't have to have a standing Army/Airforce/Navy like we do becaus we are covering the southern border. They are smarter than we are.

Yes we do.
 
Just another con quoting dogma. No ability for critical thought. No intilectual curiosity. Must be a lousy way to exist.
 
First some basic statistics. You will be arrested by the polite Mounties if you attempt to enter Canada illegally. Canada sells oil to the US. The total land mass in Canada is approximate to the US but the US ranks 4.5% of world population Canada is around .5%. It's estimated that the illegal alien population in the US is just short of Canada's total population. Native Canadians (Indians) in Canada live in virtual poverty while American Indians beat us up with tax exempt casinos. Canada's GDP (gross domestic product) is on the decline just like the US. The Canadian Central Bank forecasts a gloomy future for the polite nation. Here's a thought, why not send half the illegals who cross the US border over the border to the polite nation to the north and see how they cope with the "wealth".
 
Another Obama highlight.

You libs certainly are proud of the falling standard of living your precious Dems have given us.
Well hawk, me boy, no use having any rational evidence of your claims. So much fun to read con dogma over and over. All the same.

GDP is not declining in Canada.
 
The Canadians exhibited good sense in their regulations on capitalism, and their health system. I would guess, that as a healthier nation than the US, they could reduce the cost of social services because as a healthier people, they had less need of those services.

We would do well to emulate many of the policies of our good neighbors to the north.
 
Canada ranks higher on the heritage index.

Not surprising.

Although it still is pretty stupid comparison... Pretty different countries in different situations.

health affects the workforce. Healthy people are more willing & able to work. They need, and request (vote for), less welfare. Stereotypically, "junk food" makes people fat; makes them lazy; makes them vote for welfare, instead of working for pay.
 
What CANADIANS banks needed TRILLIONS so they wouldnt FAIL?

Can any of you lovers of unbridled capitalism tell us?

You guys hate welfare but I don't see any of you complaining about the TRILLIONS in welfare we had to give to our TOO BIG TO FAIL banks.

Why is that?
 
So this is based on an exhaustive study by Credit Suisse. We not only trail Canada, but a total of 15 industrialized nations. Based on median wealth. Not average, but median. This is a study primarily of income disparity. I believe that the US is still number 1 in average wealth thanks to the very highest percentage of income earners.
 
We do hard core socialism up here. I adore Paul Martin (for those that don't know he's listed under liberal almost a PM for a bit but one heck of a guy).

Martin under Chretien after Mulroney gave him the tools with GST was soooooooooooooooooooooo brilliant as the best finance minister ever. He never over spent. Jim's close but Paul Martin is just wonderous.

Both of them understand it's the "peoples money". Not theirs.
 
Oh and by the way you whiners, why don't you pay your fair share?

You keep bitching about the others that pay 70%. Cough up you leeches. Give er. You start to pay. Feel the blood. Go eh.

I'm a dual citizen so I get to bitch about both countries. :D The one thing that Martin did up here was he kept banking rules and regulations in line he never allowed anything differently.
