    Something isn’t right

    because all the things you mentioned come with a lot of asterisks and the abuse of the averages.

    for example, a lot of the common “quality of life index” that you will find America rank highly on include things like “property price to income ratio” meaning that if you take the average income and compare it to the vast very cheap no-mans land, you end up with a way better ratio than other nations, or stuff like “climate index” that put Canada lower on the quality of life because northern Canada is cold, etc…

    Tho you are wrong about the cost of living, Canada has a lower cost of living than America

    Don’t forget that Americans have to pay a lot out of pocket and for more than the cannucks to the north
