Canada-U.S. prosperity gap grows wider
Ontarians now $6,000 off the mark

OTTAWA — Canada's prosperity is falling further behind that of the United
States, and the high Canadian dollar could significantly exacerbate the gap,
says a report to be released Monday.
Indicative of the problem is the situation in Ontario. The prosperity gap
between that province and similar U.S. jurisdictions is about $6,000, says the
annual report from the Institute for Competitiveness and Prosperity.
In other words, the gross domestic product per capita in Ontario is $6,000
lower than the median GDP per capita of 16 similar economies. That's up from
$5,500 last year.

"The prosperity gap between Ontario and the United States could well shrink if
the United States falls into recession, Mr. Martin concedes. But he doubts
that will happen.
The U.S. economy is incredibly resilient, he said, mainly because people there
consistently work hard, and rarely rest on their laurels."
