Canada sounds good to me, if crap hits the fan here.

is this the point in which we invade canada? I figure since around 90% of the entire population is near the border they were up to no good anyway. We can call it a pre-emptive strike. :biggrin:
*sigh*
However, many Canadians also have high debt levels because of high house prices, so they would be quite vulnerable if and when interest rates go up. Also, we are taxed higher here, and our banks are more tightly regulated, so I would say that it is slightly more difficult to get really rich in Canada.
This statement is so True, and the article did touch on this.
Yes we escape the Housing melt down, but on average Canadian do have Huge personnel dedt, if interest rate start to rise it going to be a differant story.

You can thank the Chinese people for that.
Prior to 1997 (transfer of Hong Kong from England to China), they allowed massive immigration from Hong Kong, and those people had to meet the financial requirement to get there. Smart move! Too bad our law makers didn't figure that one out.
Low population Density
High levels of natural resources with aggressive extraction policies
One of the highest %'s of college educated persons of any country
Strict immigration laws
Not long ago in the 90's Canada was in as bad of shape as Italy and Spain are now but managed to turn it around. In addition, as partially mentioned here, they do not have the same type of fixed rate loans as we do so they are benefiting massively from the low interest rate environment manufactured by the fed and deflationary forces in general.
And since we don't have any guns, nobody would put up any resistance :biggrin:Is this the point in which we invade Canada? I figure since around 90% of the entire population is near the border they were up to no good anyway. We can call it a pre-emptive strike. :biggrin:

But be careful what you wish for. We have advanced forms of socialism up here along with legalized gay marriage .. both of which seem to be hated in the US. The inability to carry guns might not go well with a bunch of people either. However, neither approach seems to have affected gun violent as the recent shootings in Toronto and Colorado have shown. We have our share of crazy people up here too.
When was the last time Canadians were in a war? 1812?
