>America has a weird sense of superiority about its lower unemployment numbers vs Canada.
I've literally never heard anyone in America discuss Canada's unemployment numbers in any context whatsoever. I think your premise may be off.
Canada is also pretty tiny (smaller than California; much smaller GDP than California) so I'm not sure why we would care.
- jkoudys 7y agoUsually it's in the political context, as a cautionary tale about why you shouldn't fund healthcare/social programs/etc.
- bobbydroptables 7y agoI wouldn't describe politicians trying to score cheap political points as "America" having a weird complex. I can promise you the average American does not have any thoughts whatsoever regarding Canada. It's not even on our radar.
- sdinsn 7y agoHe is saying that people in Canada are less concerned about Canada's unemployment numbers than people in America are concerned about America's unemployment numbers.
- bobbydroptables 7y agoIf that were the case then the word superiority does not belong in that sentence. No average American has enough thoughts about Canada to have feelings of superiority about our economic statistics.
