Okay, here is a longer graph. You're really going to tell me the last 10 year isn't one of the flatter parts? Fine, I give up. As for political affiliation, I'm not part of either cult, I'm just hear to check facts.Even if you only take the last 10 years as you're suggesting (which I'd argue is flawed to begin with as opposed to a more historical context), and draw a mean line through it, it's about a 10% variance. That's not insignificant to Canadian families who were already "splurging" by paying more for everything in America. There comes a psychological point in buyer behavior where people say, "no mas" - I'd say this is close to that point. Especially when you combine this data with the knowledge that the Canadian economy is doing poorly right now. Not everything is as simple as, "Orange Man bad".
