Look closely at the criteria they use to judge that and you will see the reason for some countries ranking highly and others not so well. As in everything else, there is an agenda at play there. Apparently, Norway most closely meets the criteria set out by the global social engineers over at the UN.
Our government rolls out the results of this survey to show us how great a government they are. All it proves to me is that Canada is an advanced socialist nation with a hollow, stagnant economy that depends almost entirely on the strength of the US economy for our survival.

I really don't care if this is a better or worse country than other, but sometimes I wonder...
Probably most people in this forum do have a living standard better than 95% of the rest of the world, it could be an eyeopener to go to some other countries where things are a bit different, for instance if you're in trouble the Police will do nothing else than rob you for all your money, everywhere you go, you have to look over your shoulder, coz everybody everywhere is looking for an opportunity so screw you in any way they can, and everyone everywhere is corrupt... (with some exceptions of course)
Socialism or not socialism or whatever, people in North Europe, Canada and US are very lucky, no matter what we say, we live well, have no problems, so why should any of us complain about anything.....
And that we all are dependent on US financially, we probably are...
