Case in point, GDP per capita is higher in the US than in Québec. However, if you exclude the top 1%, it becomes higher in Québec than in the US. What does this mean? The US has more filthy rich people than Québec does, but unless you are among the 1% richest of your country, you are likely to live better in Québec than in the states.
But you speak French, so the standard of living drops significantly.
