Canada

: Canada is one of only 10 countries to score in the very high social progress range, according to Brandon Sun. On one aspect of the index, opportunity for citizens, we scored first in the world in this year survey of 133 countries. Michael Porter, Canada is the sixth most socially advanced country in the world. The index website explains that the opportunity category measures the extent to which a nation guarantees personal rights, personal freedom and choice, tolerance and inclusion, and access to advanced education — all areas in which Canada excels. It is an exceptionally good thing to be a Canadian. Canada does lag in some areas like eco-sustainability, but overall we are among the very best places in the world in which to live.
