comparing countries?
I think the two are perfectly comparable. It's more of just that Canadians are used to a lower cost of living. Nearly everything (with the obvious exception of cigarettes and alcohol) is cheaper in Canada. Where I live, in Manitoba, water is next to free, energy is around 7.5cents (CDN... that's like 5 cents American) kW/hour (or however that's measured..erg it's late and I forget), food is cheap (except for imported fruits/vegetables) and internet is cheap! Comparatively the average Canadian household income IS inferior to that of the average American, but we have lower expenses so it balances out.
whoa this was just a mindless ramble... at first I thought I had a point to say but apparently I didn't... erg... oh well off to bed I go. g'night |
