How do I know? Maclean's magazine compared Canadians and Americans in every facet of our lives. After digging through the data, here's what they found: the staid, underpaid Canadian is dead. Believe it or not, we now have more wealth than Americans, even though we work shorter hours.

We drink more often, but we live longer and have fewer diseases. We have more sex, more sex partners and we're more adventurous in bed, but we have fewer teen pregnancies and fewer sexually transmitted diseases. We spend more time with family and friends, and more time exploring the world. Even in crime we come out ahead: we're just as prone to break the law, but when we do it, we don't get shot. Most of the time, we don't even go to jail.

The wealth numbers, in particular, are shocking. As of 2005, the median family in Canada was worth US$122,600, according to Statistics Canada, while the U.S. Federal Reserve pegged the median American family at US$93,100 in 2004.

Well thats not surprising Canadians are the cheapest people I've known...ever try getting a tip from a Canadian, don't hold your breath.

I make around $6 a day on tips, in a fast food restaurant making subs, on part time hours.
