What makes Canada's middle-class better off than the US middle-class?

2. Yep. I saw that back in 1998 when I hosted a campground in

northeastern Washington State. I had a lot of Canadian campers. The Canadians had better stuff, nicer tents, jet skis, boats, campers, bikes, etc. than the American campers. Yet when I talked to them they were working class, plumbers, carpenters and generally blue collar. My working class American campers were pretty shabby by comparison and often balked at the fees. I often had to redirect them to the free campgrounds that were pretty primitive in comparison after a couple of nights so they could finish their vacations.

It wasn't rocket science to figure out why the Canadians seemed so much better off than the Americans of equal class, even when they constantly complained about their dollars being worth less than ours. Yes, they had those above mentioned benefits and many others you haven't mentioned which actually gave them more spending money even when they paid higher taxes. Their taxes mostly benefitted them not the 1% MIC billionaire class like ours does.
