"If you think the grass is so much greener, move. Or else do something meaningful to effect change."
I wouldn't hesitate to move if I was offered a job in my field of interest at a decent wage. I don't think the grass is greener in the States but it isn't browner either. Higher crime, lower taxes, more gestapoesc cops, lower cost of living...it all balances out in the end, I guess.
I love the new Mustang but I'm not in the market for one. My "something meaningful to effect change"? I would cross-border shop and save a bundle.
I still disagree on many of your conclusions on Supply and Demand. It's like Rubert said: Demand is kept artificially low by Ford's Canadian pricing policy. Besides that when there is no duty across the border for North American goods then the border is transparent to NA good. That SHOULD mean to the automotive manufacturers that NA is one big market. We should be lumped in with the Americans Economically speaking. So there's your demand; all of NA. And supply? Well some are supplied at a lower cost than others, evidently.
