Capital investment has always been higher in the USA, which is probably less important in Canada because there is always some schmuck willing to work for less. I mean, we even try to advertise our low wages as our “competitive advantage”. There are also plenty of countries ahead of us who have far bette labour protections.
I think a lot of it is just obliviousness. Witness the multitude of posters on here who seem to think the economy is red hot because their home prices have skyrocketed when we have some of the worst performance metrics and projections in the OECD.
