Jack you've been right on for decades now. How well do I remember your prediction of the tech crash considerably before it happened. All this admitted, I think the outlook for Canada is not so terrible as you think.
The average Canadian pays the governments about 30% of their
income. I say governments as the provincial and federal
and sometimes even the city all take part of the 30%. The
maximum bracket is 52%. (From personal experience.) On the
other hand the free medical attention is worth a lot; the
average Canadian doctor is pretty well trained. My wife has had
five serious operations and the results were superb in all
the five. I have had two successful cataract operations and one
other operation. ALL FREE.
There's a little matter of OIL SANDS. They make Alberta and
Saskatchewan provinces rich. East of there are wheat fields,
unending flat stretches, full of wheat. Still further east of
that, there are mines for almost everything, not to omit uranium and also forests.
Also the banks bother to check up on the situation before lending residential mortgages.
Granted HK has a glorious climate, absent in cold Canada.
HK is the second largest port in the world. HK is heaven if
you work very hard and/or are very smart.
Canada gets ambitious immigrants from around the world,
notably China and India. It's not heaven but its pretty good.
