Two quick thoughts. First, Canada seems to be doing ok energy wise and our dollar has tracked USD reasonably well. Second, any discussion of the quality of life in the US must include full time employment / has health care. Those without employer provided health care are either at risk, old or well to do.
Separate the good parts of life a la Euro from the now foolish decision to try and integrate Russia into Europe. Note that the US has built its economy on Chinese production which also carries (severe) geopolitical risk.
I guess Bloomberg doesn’t include things like public health, crime rates and types, political rigidity and economic inequality? No, I guess it wouldn’t as it would mess up ad rates.
- ripper1138 4y agoIs the macro economic situation in Canada that much different than in the US? For example your point about Chinese production applies to Canada as well.
- jleyank 4y agoIt’s there, and there’s a political divide that has widened in the last 10 years. Social cohesion is holding, and the US provides both a negative and positive point in discussions. As others have posted, the highs aren’t quite as high and the lows aren’t quite as low as our southern neighbour. But we’re doing ok so far. People just have to continue to give a shit about others.
- tjansen 4y agoThe article specifically includes public health.
- jleyank 4y agoWell, Covid wasn’t handled well so I separate public health from private health which is great when fully employed.
