      There’s just more money in American jobs and taxes aren’t in Canada level lol

      Because wages have been stagnant and the cost of everything in Canada is up anywhere from 20-30%.

      No shit they’re pessimistic.

      Canadians deserve better.

      America is the number 1 economy in the world and everyone uses their currency.

      Canada is…………a small country that benefits from being beside them but will never be them economically.

      It makes sense… the US economy is booming and Canada is struggling pretty badly.

      We’ve got it all… High taxes, lower wages, lower productivity, an anti-competitive marketplace in many respects, inefficient ports, increasingly bad labour relations, “First Nations” have to paid off to achieve anything in terms of resource extraction, the low dollar hurts anyone trying to import product, excessive immigration is causing youth unemployment and tearing apart our social fabric but a low birth rate is still causing a skilled labour shortage, insane housing costs but municipal politics are overrun with pinkos who make building more homes and infrastructure next to impossible… Etc etc.

      Basicly a series of economic and social dilemmas long in the making with no easy answers.

      This is a good thing. Americans tend to worry about today, not tomorrow. As long as everything is paid, this month next month is not considered. So many there live in absolute poverty combined with most being one sickness away from bankruptcy keeps people from thinking.

      Don’t we rival Alabama in productivity? Just one state vs the other 52?

      I mean, we pay European taxes for services akin to theirs.

      Or essentially, we pay more for less.

      I used to live in the USA and got paid I’m USD. I felt like I had the most valuable currency on the planet. That I didn’t have to worry.

      Canada is a comparative joke.

      We have the same amount of people as California to manage the second largest land mass in the world. I’m
      Sure we could be doing better but comparing us to the US economy is just ridiculous.

      Obviously. Even with all of their issues, America is light years ahead of us.

      Texas, alone (with 11 million FEWER people) has an economy larger than Canada. It’s beyond embarrassing 😔

      I feel like everyone skipped reading the actual article.

      For the most part we are either tied or slightly ahead of Americans. The misleading title of this post refers to how Canadians think OTHER Canadians are doing.

      43% Americans THINK other Americans are struggling, where as 65% of Canadians think other Canadians are struggling, which is incorrect.

      My take away is too many Canadians are stuck in a negative social media loop feeding them bad information which is causing them to be more pessimistic.

      When $1.00 USD is $1.40 CAD it’s easy to feel that way. Couple that with the much higher taxes in Canada and you really don’t leave people with much buying power.

      Not surprising when everything is more expensive in Canada, we’re taxed higher, salaries are significantly lower and there are a lot fewer jobs being sought after by more people.

      I work for a US company here in Montreal, I could triple my salary in the exact same role, with the same company in the US. And then in the same industry in the US I’d have significantly more opportunity in a more competitive market where I could easily increase my salary further.

      Canada lacks all the positive factors, and has higher rates of the negative ones.

    19. Drunkenaviator on

      Well, duh. When I can do the exact same job flying the exact same airplane in the US and make triple what I would in Canada, even after the new Air Canada pilot contract, I’m gonna be a lot more optimistic about my financial situation.
