So you take the total business investment of the United States divided by the total number of workers in America, it's 28 grand. In Canada, it's 15 grand. So the Canadian worker gets about 55 cents for every dollar of his American, and they're both measured in USD.

That's investment in- in machines, in technology, warehouses, factories. I see. Any capital investment that businesses make divided by the number of workers, that's the measurement. So now that means they're getting better technology, better new machines, better tools than our workers, and they will be able to crank out even greater wages for their people than we will unless we catch up with that.

um our productivity is another major problem like right now and that's productivity sounds complicated it's actually extremely simple you just take the gdp and you divide it by the hours worked in the country so american gdp is eighty dollars so for every hour an american worker works on average he produce he or she produces eighty dollars of gdp the gdp in canada it's 50. So that's every hour.

So that means we have to work 60% more just to make the same amount and have the same level of income to buy food and housing. Now, that sounds like a bunch of wonk speak that might seem like it only matters to someone staring at a spreadsheet or a graph or a...

a chart, but in fact, that's reflected in the fact that our 2 million people are lined up at food banks because they can't afford food, and 80% of youth can't afford homes, and our quality of life is, and the things we can afford to provide our kids have fallen back so much.

I mean, I think housing costs are another one. I mean, there was a study out just 10 days ago that has Toronto and Vancouver now by far the most unaffordable housing markets in North America. And so housing costs are 50% higher in Toronto than they are in Chicago, even though Chicago workers make 50% more money. The same is true between Vancouver and Seattle.
