  That probably only takes material goods into account.  If you take 
  stuff like quality of life, health, crime, pollution, population
  density, traffic, etc. into account, I can see where someone can
  try to make a case for Canada having a higher standard of living and
  still keep a straight face.

  Of course, you'd never be able to prove him wrong, because there is no
  way of accurately measuring that stuff.  Or you could do something lame
  like pointing at the net migration statistics and asking why so many
  Canadians are moving here (or vice-versa?) if the standard of living is
  higher there.
