The World Economic Forum in 2008 ranked Canada's banking system the healthiest in the world. Our is 40th on the list and Britian's is 44th. Our northern neighbors have not had one bank failure while ours are collapsing all over the place this year.
Its banks are leveraged at 18 to 1 and ours at 26 to one.
It has 12 years of budget surpluses.
Penison system completely revamped and strong.
Canada's health care costs 9.7% of its GDP versus ours at 15.2%
Canada's citizen life expectancy is 81 and ours is 78.
Its healthy life expenctancy is 72 versus ours at 69.
Hmmm, which way is north? Maybe we should look there.
