Whats with the hostility? It's actually a very good point.

You don't think there is a corelation between a higher percentage of poor people and crimes such as robbery?

You're right, this does seem to be relatively rare nowadays. I was just using it as a quick encompassing example of crime in general.

But the poor person would get the real jail time. Up until recently, the rich guy stealing billions would get a slap on the wrist.

That being said, in this regard Canada isn't much different than the states. Our rich guys don't tend to go to jail for long, either.

Seriously, I have never heard a Canadian joke. Maybe because I live in Texas.

Because people tend to make fun of people in less powerful neighbouring countries/regions etc. Witness England/Ireland, France/Belgium, Dublin/Kerry and so on.
