Canada's household debt-to-disposable income ratio now exceeds that of the U.S., with the typical Canadian household owing 1.3 times its annual disposable income. While Americans cut back their debt load last year, Canadians' debt continued rising at a rate of 10 percent per year since 2004 while income rose only half as fast.
