I'm just trying to say that everything is expensive here, so it's only natural that the wages are higher.

If we are talking buying power, I actually think the Americans and maybe also you Canadians are a bit ahead of us.

I suppose the cheapest car from new in your country doesn't cost 18.000 US $

We have A LOT of added taxes on stuff deemed unhealthy to use in large quantities. A litre (not a gallon) of gasoline is about 1.8 $. for example.
