In the past few years there has be a lot of 'Canada envy' from Americans. Good ol' Canaja has cheap health care, no George bush and presumably less loud obnoxious morons. But the thing is, Canada isn't that well off, either.
While our dollar continues to freefall, salaries are still higher here and goods are still cheaper. The US is still where the money is. Also, low taxes. With as much as things suck here, people forget that they've been sucking everywhere else for a good deal longer.
While Rupert Murdoch may control half of our media, Canada's media is even more consolidated. While sexual violence is on the rise here, it's gotten so bad in Japan that they have to have to have women only subway cars.
While all our jobs are going to Mexico, it has done little to help the rampant poverty.
So stay vigilant and be aware of how shitty things are, but don't forget perspective. It's all going downhill anyway. This is what I think the world will look like in 2050:
