    Default UN: Canada 4th best country to live in

    Here's the full article:

    http://ca.news.yahoo.com/s/capress/0...uality_of_life

    Notes:

    Norway = 1
    Australia = 2
    Iceland = 3
    Canada = 4
    USA = 13
    Niger = 182 (last)



    Not so shabby for us I guess...little surprised that Sweden isn't high up from what I've heard about it.

    Australia sure moved up. Usually the top 5 are always the scandanavian countries and Austria.

    Seems odd that a bankrupt country like Iceland would be #3.

    I know they base it on a lot and i think obessity and health are put into it. Thats why all the scandanavian countries rank so high because the people there are pretty healthy. In Denmark it really hard to find a fast food chain like we have here.

    Despite this, Canada is a world leader in quality of life.

    That's why I believe that this is the best country in the world, no question about it.
    LoL i was only kidding.. but yes you are right

    Agreed. If something from the wilderness is going to scare and kill you here, it's at going to be huge, and you're going to hear it coming. So many scary ass f'ing creatures in australia, and they're all just waiting for you step on them before killing your ass.

    more fucking ignorance

    Australia has "social issues" with their aboriginal people too, and Australia is a vast country with a large uninhabited interior

    I would've expected to see Somalia at the bottom

    I guess all their treasure troves & blue lagoons bumped them up the list.

    Surfing is the only reason AU is number 2. If they didn't have surfing they'd be boned.

    Oh, and accents. Aussie chicks are the only chicks that sound good when they speak

    While I still think Canada is the best spot on this rock called Earth, Australia has as big if not a bigger problem with aboriginals as we do.

    Cmon, Australia is only there because its one of the rare few places where the women ask the men out on dates and buy the men drinks.

    Geez - If Canada had girls like that without doubt #1.

    Norway was followed by Australia and Iceland on the list, which drew on statistics dating from 2007, before Iceland was hit hard in global economic crisis. Afghanistan and Sierra Leone rounded out the bottom of the ranking.
