any proof? what's the purchasing power parity of canada vs the US?
it's a simple measure. what is it?

Yep. Start with: http://www.fraserinstitute.org/tools/Default.htm

actually try he

http://fx.sauder.ubc.ca/PPP.html

for the latest info. your own universities show the US dollar is
undervalue by about 14%.

problem is, we already spend 17% of our GDP on health vs 10% for you
guys. so even if we reach parity you will STILL be spending less on
healthcare than we do for a system that is more efficient

try again, right winger.


On that web site somewhere they have a financial freedom list of all US
atates and Canadian provinces. Of the 10 Canadian provinces, we hold
the 9 bottom positions and the 10th province is much higher.

But I am not going to waste the time on you to find the exact link. You
probably wouldn't use it anyways.


financial freedom is irrelevant. the relevant measure is PPP.
