"Canada’s middle class appears to be the richest in a new study of incomes in several big countries.
The in-depth report published today in The New York Times, which looks at about 20 nations, indicates that Canadians have bumped Americans out of the top spot they have long held.
“Middle-class incomes in Canada – substantially behind in 2000 – now appear to be higher than in the United States,” the report says.
“Median income in Canada pulled into a tie with median United States income in 2010 and has now surpassed it ” it adds.
The  Times backs up its findings saying they’re based on 35 years of surveys compiled  the Luxembourg Income Study Database. The findings were studied by LIS researchers, along with colleagues at the Times , and outside economists.

But were any Canadians really comfortable with  being the wealthiest middle class in the world?
