Healthcare? Have you seen the prices in the emergency ward at a Canadian hospital if you do NOT have insurance? It is same/similar to the emergency ward prices of Seattle and San Diego. Both unfortunately I have personally seen.
Military Defence? Why is that cheaper? American mercenaries charge more than Canadian mercenaries?
Cheddar cheese? Not in BC. One of the major reasons for BC residents to go shopping in the US is for gasoline and cheese.
Football players???????? are you comparing NFL to CFL? not a fair comparision.
