  • Being content or liking how you live didn't seem to be asked. I think the rankings would look a little different if that was added to the mix.

    • "Quality of Life" was a category on the survey, although it was only one of ten. Additionally, they were mostly asking the people who were benefitting the most from their society:

      a survey of over 17,000 people from 36 countries – including business leaders, middle-class or higher college-educated individuals and “nationally representative” citizens of each country

      So I imagine there were a lot of folks who disagreed with the final rankings, but their opinions were mostly considered irrelevant.

    • I wonder of you took some of the people complaining about Canada and dropped them somewhere like Sudan, Myanmar, Eritrea, or DR Congo for a couple of years they wouldn't come back with a new appreciation for Canada? Well, the survivors if there were any, anyway.

      Is ready to pass and Joan when you love in one of the best countries in the world. I just think some people need some perspective.

      • You are ignoring the voices of those with legitimate concerns in this country because you live a comfortable life. Get a grip.
        Yes Canada is wonderful. I love this country and wouldn't want to live anywhere else - that being said, you cannot ignore that there is are plenty of glaring issues with this country that are affected a shit ton of people.

        Your experience is not the norm.

        • Yes, there are problems. Yes, people have legitimate concerns. I just can't tolerate the, "Canada is a dictatorship" nonsense, or, "Canada is turning into a third world country," or our white bread, milquetoast right of center Prime Minister and his father are Marxists. People need some perspective.
