Sorry but i dont see the point. Being pissy about the price of gas aside Canadians rank pretty happy in the indexes.
Those indexes are compiled from surveys. Admitting your not happy and/or satisfied is like admitting defeat. Especially when your peers claim happiness and/or satisfaction. But back to your original statement: graph the increased standard of living and graph the true happiness/satisfaction increases. They will not overlap.
True happiness does not seem like its something cant be ascertained according to you object to the indexes..so how can you show your point..
When I started driving 15 years ago, gas when in the 40cent/l range.

Minus 5 cents/L or so for not in the GTA and it was well in the 40 range

OK, I think I know what that means. If you can quantify the increase in standard of living from say, the 1700's to today I'll take a crack at dispelling the notion that people are now 700% happier or whatever the number shakes out to be.

no mas
Do you have a blog were i can track your process..otherwise i will just wait for nothing to ever happen with this...
i don't think you can gauge happiness in percent though. But i can guaranty that the poor from the 1700's or even the 1920's (at least inner city rural will have some play due to differences in health) then people will be happier today than anytime in history due simply to increase in Health and quality of accommodation.
Well, I would agree that the potential exists today to be happier because so many rubber meets the road issues can be dealt with. But I don't believe general human nature allows this because the extraordinary always becomes the ordinary. You can see that with great increases in paycheque or lottery winners. The initial buzz always wears off even if they have the means to make life easier. I believe in the theory of the happiness quotient.
50 cents in 1999, in today's dollars is $0.68
Gas is $1.40 now, 15 years later... ~200% increase.
If you had invested in Suncor in 1999 at $7.50 ($10.20 today) your shares would've gone up to $70 by 2008 at which point they split, and now 6 years later are at $41... effectively an 800% increase in your portfolio.
I don't ***** about gas prices. Its a fact of life. If you're really that concerned about it, invest in energy to offset the price at the pumps.

Sure but when the ordinary isn't wide spread early death, Work houses, Illness and conflict we get a pretty good base to build of. I generally accept the happiness quotient but its not measurable.
Enbridge shares were $15 just ten years ago. Today they're at $52, and that includes a 2:1 split several years ago. Again, another opportunity to jump on the bandwagon and make some money back in return.
Natural Gas is upsetting, but who can control weather (don't say we do, because while it might be true we never will) ....
Hydro is totally different ball game though. Ontario hydro policy is one of the most ridiculous concepts I have ever heard of .... starting with how the power is produced and where and their costs, artificial support of green power, overproducing and selling cheap as overflow so Ontarians can foot the bill, all the way to the stupid smart meter off-peak blablablabla where nobody really has saved after all anything ... Surely we should be able to do better than this.

So is this the way the world should run? **** ourselves in circles? **** the ones outside the circle even harder?
