NBC reported last night that the average net worth of Canadian (now 363,000) has passed that of the average person in this country (about 320,000) for the first time in history. This I think is even more significant because of this

Rank         Nation         Number of billionaires         
1          United States         403         
2          Canada         24         

and of course US billionaires at the top of that scale have nay more billions.
