That's what you got after seeing stat after stat of Canadians choosing different options than American ones? In everything from groceries to travel and cultural consumption? That's what you took from that article? "It can only be because they can't afford it"? BTW, your "source" is an AI generated article by a local blog. It's not news.

  Well then you'll be happy to know they auto generate these every time new statistics get released[0] and they all read nearly identically. We used to call this SEO spam. Anyways, the person I responded to used a quote from the article to support their point, but that quote isn't sourced, because, well, it's clearly opinion masquerading as fact. And since there's no author, no-one has to answer for it, or support their assertion with logic, facts and reasoning. Be careful what you wish for.
