Canadians lead longer, healthier lives than Americans

Compared to their neighbours south of the border, Canadians live longer,
healthier lives. Research published in BioMed Central's open access
journal Population Health Metrics has found this disparity between the
two countries, suggesting that America's lack of universal health care
and lower levels of social and economic equality are to blame.

Probably true but for the assumption it is health care.

Fewer Canadians can afford drugs, weed, booze and smokes.

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

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.

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.
