Smug AND rolling in money: Canadians richer than Americans for first time in history
Americans may enjoy teasing and taunting their neighbours to the north but now the jokes on them.

For the first time in recent history, the average Canadian is richer than the average American.

The net worth of the average Canadian household in 2011 was $363,202 compared to the average American household’s $319,970 worth, according to data published in Canada's Globe and Mail last month
That gives the average Canadian $43,232 more than the average American. And the Globe and Mail pointed out 'these are not 60-cent dollars, but Canadian dollars more or less at par with the U.S. greenback.' [link to www.dailymail.co.uk]

Those numbers probably do not take into account the fact tat Canada's Real Estate market has not collapsed in Canada(yet) and taken peoples storage of wealth with it.

That is awesome news!
The US can start an import of all American welfare leeches and dump them into Canada's socialist system where they can bleed it dry.

God save the Queen!

It actually is not that much higher in a lot of cases.

But yeah, it is really shit in the states. Mortgagegate pretty much ruined the wealth stores of two generations or more.

It is a shame they are too distracted to bring people to justice.

depends where you live. I live in northern ontario and the population is small compared to cities. One black family, native indians and whites is about the extend of the races here, however just got word the other day our local closed sawmill is going to reopen by a rich man from India. He is going to transition the mill for Rayon production from paper pulp. Also a chinnese company is looking at the other idle mills, interesting.

Depends on where you live in the U.S. There are big differences between regions, states, metro areas, etc. I know many rural areas aren't doing well and have lower incomes, BUT, their cost of living is very low. I doubt if this 'study' took this into account. $300,000+ can go a LONG way in some parts of the U.S., especially rural areas of the south and midwest where the economy is particularly poor, but the cost of living is very low. $300,000 would be worth far less over-all in places like Vancouver or say Boston, where I live.

Where I live [Boston] the metro unemployment rate is 5%. The state unemployment rate is I think something like 6.2%. It's the rural part of the state that's really hurting, but this has been true since before the 2008 collapse.

No it doesn't. I've traveled and lived outside the U.S. From my own personal observations, France probably has the best public/private heathcare system. Germany is pretty good too. Neither have a single payer system like Canada. In the U.S. Romneycare in Massachusetts actually works pretty well, but it's not a single payer system either.

Because she is the head of our Country that is all...

We are part of the common wealth which has a lot of benefits for this country...

She Opens our Parliament and is head of our military....

Some people here are loyal to the crown and will always be...

they import many people from other countries to one day hold a vote to become a free country...

Politically that will hurt us so much... it will kill our stand in the world and it will cut off many ties that Canada needs... through the common wealth..
