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

Lower wages,
higher gasoline costs and higher taxes make us walk more.


again, where's the proof? the canadian dollar has appreciated 25%
against the US dollar because your govt regulated the free market and
ours didnt.


Canada has an appreciating dollar because of excess debt spending by the
USA. Plus they are a major energy exporter these days.


absolutely true. the canadians didn't trust the markets like the US
did.
