Washington, D.C. – For the first time, Canada takes the top spot overall in the 2021 Best Countries Report, a ranking and analysis project by U.S. News & World Report; BAV Group, a unit of global marketing communications company VMLY&R; and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania.

This year, the model that powers this report has evolved in response to a transformational year since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. Cultural, economic, political and technological influences remain important, and two new categories have been added: social purpose and agility. Together, this broad range of categories determines how the 78 countries studied are ranked on the world stage.

Take it with a grain of salt but I think this is well deserved seeing how the rest of the world is doing.

Given how Canada is currently handling the pandemic, I find the results of this report hard to believe...

Pretty much everywhere sucks. Maybe Canada sucks a bit less, pandemic notwithstanding

Anyway there's a million of these lists, each with a different country as #1, so everyone shares their list on facebook LUL

My mom always tells me I’m #1 at various things :alone:

Hold the phone, what the hell is going on in Mongolia in that map?

I remember way back from elementary school we studied dinosaurs and a large part of our focus on the Gobi Desert and it's outsized amount of fossil discoveries. The Gobi Desert is coincidentally in Mongolia so, Velociraptors!

Go go Canadian school system

Doesn't matter. People always complain about something they don't have anyway.

Classic grass is greener syndrome.
