Time Enough for Love

Another nail in the coffin of Obama's 'hope and change', the "fundamental transformation of America"...
While Americans might enjoy throwing politically-charged barbs at their neighbors to the north, Canadians now have at least one reason to be smug.

For the first time in recent history, the average Canadian is richer than the average American, according to a report cited in Toronto's Globe and Mail.

And not just by a little. Currently, the average Canadian household is more than $40,000 richer than the average American household. The net worth of the average Canadian household in 2011 was $363,202, compared to around $320,000 for Americans.

I heard that on the radio on the way to work today.

I guess it's good news for Canada.

Awesome, not so surprising though. So many Americans had such a tough time with the recession. A lot of us were hit bad, don't get me wrong. But they definitely took the biggest hit.

Unemployment at 8+%... while he demonizes the "evil" rich and wages class warfare... tell me how he's not responsible.

does that include the price of the house they are in or combined incomes, because those numbers seem insanely high for just income.

"Net worth", meaning the value of everything they have.

oh pffft, you guys are 3rd world in comparison to Australia.

''In 2009-10, on average, households in Australia held assets valued at $839,000, partially offset by average household liabilities of $120,000. After adjusting for changes in the CPI, the average household net worth of $720,000 in 2009-10 was 14% higher than in 2005-06, and 30% higher than in 2003-04.''
