Canadians are on average happier and live longer. I really don't see how you can argue there's a lower standard of living.

Also, isn't the median household income higher in Canada than the US?

No, but they are apparently 6th and 7th with a pretty marginal difference. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Median_income

honestly, the thing that made me question was lumping Canada in with Mexico. Not shitting on Mexico, but the standard of living there is clearly lower.
