2. The reason it's so startling to some Canadians
is that our neo-cons keep trying to convince us we are a third world country, and poverty stricken by US standards....way behind on income and productivity levels.

If that gets too complicated or difficult...they also tell people that all blacks in the US live better than any Canadian of any color.

Many Canadians only see Vegas...or a Florida or Arizona retirement community in the wintertime. It doesn't always occur to them that not all Americans live like that.

This has come as an eye-opener.
