The average Canadian household is worth about $40,000 more than their American counterparts.. News article | |

The author of that article is using a misleading term. When they say "household", it typically refers to the income of the family, but in reading the article, it seems they're actually referring to home values, which is largely not the same as income. | |

Good, if Canadians and by extension Canada is richer than the USA then they can take over all the tasks that are banrupting the USA or at least take on a larger share of the load. | |

The Economist this week, in a largely upbeat article about the US economy, noted that houses in the US are (by its studies) currently undervalued by 15% to 20% -- it is possible that this may change over the next couple of years. | |

Things like feeding half of the world, fighting piracy on the high seas and keeping countries like South Korea from being over run. I'm sure that you or others can put a different spin on my examples, but I don't believe Canada is richer than the USA anyway. | |

Canada already has Navy ships in the Middle East on pirate patrol; through CIDA (The Canadian international development agency) we send money, food, technology, and teachers all over the world. As far as Korea is concerned it was Canadian troops, and Navel unites that were in the fight almost from the beginning. | |

2 years ago Washington Post article noted that canada became largest oil supplier to america. So that translates they have some historic lucky chance to suck huge cash. What now canadian tar sand oil reserve is even bigger than saudi arabia?! But that tar sand oil industry was hugely destroying their local nature which the corporate medias were effectively covering up. | |

The Tar Sands (Oil sands) are huge, almost two percent the size of the whole province. (About as big as South Dakota) | |
