There are differences as well as great similarity between Canada and the United States. Over the past week, there were several polls going on with fiscal matters and the relationship between the United States and Canada. I often find that there are comparable as well as there are differences. It's what we inherit within our countries.
Some shall laugh but I have often reinforced this by way of making mention that I was raised in America and the two countries which I consider as being home are within these two. Of recent online there were several questions which were asked on both American and Canadian sites. Predominantly those which were of a good quality and of the likes that gave for much to think about.
Hence I thought I would ask friends and friends of friends this one question as there are several sites which do have a Question of the day segment to them. This morning there was something that brought about this one thought or question. I shall retain your submission & once I feel that it's come to it's conclusion I shall then open up and show without names as to what were the answers and percentages within.
During the election which is going on up here I do appreciate your mention. It's not to create dissension - actually to the contrary. So I hope you don't mind if I do ask and request answer. I would hope that there is a good cross section of answers from people from United States of America, Canada and even democratic countries from abroad.This is not a political question it's a question which gives an idea on how people see things from their own corner of the world. I truly assure this is not a big deal, it's leading into something.
I truly appreciate your participation especially to all those which are friends as well as others and I would appreciate if this stay within that realm of respect. I do hope you may afford me a moment of your time.
Hence, this Monday's - QUESTION OF THE DAY
American culture has always been based on it's own "Melting Pot" system. Canada on the other hand is Multicultural.
ReplyDeleteAs for the way the rich spend their money is an individual thing I would think.
The richest in the world are the at the top of the pyramid and the poorest at the bottom.For Americans and Canadians alike.
Canadians have always wanted to remain Canadian and at the same time getting the best from both worlds.
I don't know if I've answered your questions but hopefully I am not too off topic.
Ta.

Regardless of this Erika I just arrived home and truly I am looking towards what many think. It's not Canadian based it's really American and
ReplyDeleteCanadian based. The question has clarity. So for those that do wish it would be nice as I am not looking for bating any people and the promise
as before I was offline was to have some thoughts or a remark. Some might feel this is creating desention I look at it as just doing a mere poll/question.
Thanks to those that casted there own yes or no thus far...
ReplyDeleteThis is not in any manner Canada vs America - I can assure all those of that.
ReplyDeleteI need some numbers and thoughts from which to work with if I may request again.
Please :)
ReplyDeleteit depends on your depiction of wealthy. If we are talking material then i would have to say that even that would be different as funds are appropriated differently. As i see the finances are differently dispersed worldwide. ie. what is expensive in one country is not and vice versa in another. in realms of dreams, i would think that each strives to utilize those finances to attain that which is their desire. hopefully, in the stream of it all, the wealthiest are giving back to society and promoting peace and humanity. the question ultimately becomes more complex and tiered depending on the criteria of the wealth. Interesting question.
ReplyDeleteThank you Cinn, as there was a reason I wished to post this within this morning right now the monetary dollar in both countries is eqaul. The question still stands and it's not with any malice. It does lead into a project I have been working on. Thank you for a wise mention. As well a very new picture you do have. I thank you. ~ gasping ~ :)
ReplyDeleteThank you jack:) xxx.
ReplyDeleteBased on what you have said I would have to answer no. The dollar value may be equal but the distribution of funds is different. Ie healthcare, gas, etc.
I don't know a lot about Canadian wealth distribution in exact numbers but i do know it is a more equitable society that did not go mad for banking and mortgage deregulation as the USA did before 2008. Therefore Canadians have to be doing a better job.
ReplyDeleteI am more thinking of does the the wealthiest Canadian spend within the same manner as an American. All things are based on a per capita basis.
ReplyDeleteHence again this I wish to expand on this and it's a little project I have been working on.
Hey Doug, I wouldn't say better and still I am looking to just get the stats as there is someone that I met of recent and I wish to go further with this.
ReplyDeleteI think we really are all within this together in many ways yet....
Again I thank you Doug.
What about the gross national product? I would again think it would then be broken down again into regions.
ReplyDeleteWithin this question I wish to just see what the consensus is with the comparison of America's wealthiest and Canada's wealthiest spending characteristics within a basic manner. The Gross National Product would be another question/topic of consideration.
ReplyDeleteThus far I thank you all that have partook within this and I am going to continue to write and leave this open. Here within Canada I voted today.
ReplyDeleteI am without an answer..I have absolutely no idea how wealthy Canadians and wealthy Americans spend..
ReplyDeleteI don't have any hint nor idea as to how extremely rich Canadians and Americans spend their money. I just hope they bring back some of their richness to those who are in need of help specially in health care.
ReplyDeleteNo worries...
ReplyDeleteNo worries the poll is just on the spending trend comparisons...:)
