US report? Yeah I’m sure it’s possible it’s true but considering the propaganda machine is going full tilt on us to divide us I’m going to saying this can fuck ALL the way off.

I’d be surprised if Canada is still on that list tbh.

Well, what do you expect, I’ve heard of tourists facing hostility and aggression from locals in Canada (ie. racism). But, then again, I don’t think the US deserves a spot on that list either.

US Culture and Tourism rated #1?
I’m sad I clicked on the ranking link and gave the site “credibility”
Bell and CTV should be ashamed of this article

The US also ranks one spot ahead of us in governance? As quoted “Governance measures factors linked to institutional effectiveness and national stability.”
Lmao this entire list can be thrown out based on that alone.

Litke says Canada’s shift should not be viewed as a decline. “We built the methodology from the ground up this year” … The drop from 4th to 19th can’t be explained other than they completely changed their approach, effectively they’re saying their previous rankings were incorrect or at minimum not robust. Generally why you don’t change your methodology so substantially.

People already disregarding it because the USA is one spot ahead of us, despite us both being outside of the top 20 at the very bottom of this list. The little brother syndrome, where it doesn’t matter if we are lower than other nations. All that matters is how we are compared to the USA.
Either way, the list seems decent. Switzerland, Denmark, and Sweden always tend to top these lists.

We have the world’s best carbon tax and mass immigration though – stay positive!

The US rating above Canada for “governance” is a strong indicator that this list is garbage. Just the US trying to get people to turn away from dealing with Canada.

US tourism is tanking and their culture is rated #1?

Many of the countries ahead of Canada are small geographically and population-wise with low diversity and high commonality in culture, language, background, history and connection to the nation. Also little to no responsability for or commitment to indigenous populations because the vast majority are the indigenous population (or are ancient enough to not be considered “settlers” )
It’s incredible that Canada remains in the top 20 considering massive geography where the population only lives in 15% of the land and the rest is empty, with super high diversity, very little in common historically or culturally among the population and a moral/legal responsibility to the indigenous population that was displaced by the “settlers” groups
The small population low diversity small geographically countries ahead of Canada I refer to are
I would also include Japan even though it is higher population because of small geography and little to no diversity/very high historical and culture connection within the population, no diversity of language
Canada cannot compare itself against any of these countries

A lot of people in this comment section that are going nuts but haven’t even read the article.
Canada dropped in ranking because they changed the methodology from just taking a poll of people’s idea of different countries to looking holistically at a range of different metrics from governance to infrastructure to biodiversity.
I think that there’s actually some important things to learn from this ranking when comparing Canada to the top ranked countries. My main takeaway is that in areas where Canada differs from the US we score higher, but score poorly where we follow the US. We are emulating the US and failing because of it. For example, our infrastructure score is low because our transit system is poor and overburdened because car centric infrastructure expensive and impossible to implement well in density.

Yeah this is showing we rank behind the US in Governance, which “measures factors linked to institutional effectiveness and national stability.”
Put down the crack pipe, fellas.

This list reflects more that have been done over the past while so I think it’s accurate enough.
The fact is that Canada and Canadians have been hit hard with a useless government.
Nobody can dispute the economy, immigration/refugee influx, inflation and printing money to give away has hurt us tremendously, and all of this has been done by our own government.
“But Blumpster, how can you say that? Tariffs have ruined us!” Yes, and that’s our own government that stacks them onto goods entering Canada.
“But Trump has wrecked our economy!”. Well, his ridiculous pissing match hasn’t done much of anything to Canada except let us get ripped off with “Buy Canadian” and “Maple Washing” by the large corporations like Loblaws, Irving, Sobeys and the rest.
As a retired near 50 year old I see the generations before me repeating every ridiculous slogan tossed at them by the Liberals while they’re secure in their homes bought 40 years ago for pennies as they gobble in their pensions. I also see the generations after me and see my kids who are around 20 years old in age trying to make a living in the worst economy Canada has seen since the Great Depression rolled through the Americas.
So yeah, our place is about right.

There is only about 4 countries ahead of us I would confidently say I’d rather live in Canada.
1) the USA.
2) Singapore
3) Japan
4) Luxembourg
USA is also highly dependent on state and Canada on province imo. Top 5 of both would be 1) Quebec. 2) Minnesota, 3) BC 4) Washington State 5) Massachusetts

Canada is below the UK?? No way! I do agree Canada is not a Top 10 country but this list is odd…for putting Canada No 2 for economic development the last time I check economic development means creating new jobs (job creation), economic growth and new businesses which Canada has been weak on for a number of years now!

These rankings were done by “US News”, so take them with a grain of salt. [Full rankings, and sortable by their ](https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/rankings)categories.
