Just compare prices between amazon dot com and amazon dot ca, and you'll see that extra 25 cents on the dollar we allegedly make, doesn't begin to cover the difference. And I know for a fact, there are places in the states where I could make the same wage or more, working in my trade.
The above doesn't seem to jive with what I read about Canada not experiencing anywher near the hit that the U.S. did in the recession a few years ago and that it's economy came through it in flying colors, comparatively.
Also, aren't several areas in Canada close to a housing price bubble as we speak?
I wonder then what's up with Canadian wages if any of the above is true?
Our banks are more conservative than yours. So survived. But our economy was/is highly dependent on Alberta oil, soooo when oil took a dive so did our economy and dollar.
The housing/condo bubbles are in part driven by vast amounts of off- shore money. Rich Asian investors like to park their excess cash in property. It does help the urban construction industry.
