You cannot compare Canada to Mexico. We in Canada have a social safety net that diminishes the affect of poverty. It is true that if you venture to Indian Reservations it is not much different than Mexico. I don't deny that there is a huge middle class. But just drive to all the fishing villages on the coast and nothing has changed. I wonder what the real statistics are for those who live well below the poverty line? Probably 25% of the population. Recently I have noticed far more beggars than in previous years. More shelters in the villages and the big cities. Yet the economy remains strong. So far!!! Maybe if the Governors in the Southern Mexican states had not ran off with hundreds of millions there would be something left to help the needy.
I see that Mexico is higher up in the most corrupt countries !
