This s great news, I'm anticipating billions of dollar of foreign investment into Canada to take advantage of this great record.

It's 2016 and Canada is still not #1.

Thanks Trudeau

Give it time. He went overseas to ask for investment, my guess is the security apparatus has caused so much harm to Canada's reputation that the lack of trust, accountability and transparency in our economy and social system has doomed us for a couple of generations.

Once the self-serving fossils pass on, Canada might be able to recover from its dismal reputation. By then the rest of the world will be a light year ahead. Bottom line, much like the upcoming presidential election in the U.S, Trudeau has an extremely important term to fulfill, he better have to courage to face up to those who have sabotaged Canada's potential or it's game over for a long while.

Take Ontario for instance. If anyone believes the reports that somehow it will be the dynamic engine of growth in Canada than I have a bridge to sell you. This mess will take a half century to work itself out, a massive shift is required.

Did they also recycle the old story from Newsweek in 1974 that was titled "Toronto: A city that really works"?

Apparently we're just behind Germany.

Yeah right. Happy New Year's from Cologne.

Now THAT'S a low blow.

It's alright to complain and be upset, as some of us have a reason to, but come on now.

Germany and Japan have done what the West has lost, they have been able to market themselves as high end manufacturers and producers of high demand products. Consumer products primarily in Japan, industrial products primarily in Germany. All this while having a high currency relative to other producers.

Canada could learn a lot from these countries if we weren't allowing sub-par low performers who's only contribution came from grandpa to get ahead without contribution or merit. As a strong signal, today, Bombardier lost out to Boeing on a contract to United Airlines. This based on aggressive pricing which I am shocked to hear considering our historically low dollar, and, an ability to be flexible with production.

Canada is in for a shock, but until enough people care it won't make a difference. Once the lending taps are shut off, the public will understand, and maybe they will appreciate what a century of oppression of liberties has brought us. Freedom and innovation go hand in hand.

Hey, at least the USA has moved up, too!

[raydan]

Could be a lot worst... at least we're not American.

Yes, the citizens of Canada are the nicest, friendliest people. That is the reason for our reputation. This is quite different than the type of handiwork of some of our so-called Security Agencies...this is where reputation really resonates, not in polls.

Nice backtrack It seems our reputation has gone down since Trudeau took over. Face it, you made an asinine statement with nothing to back it up and got called on it. Time to lump you in with the other no-nothings on this site.

Two completely different organizations doing the ranking. They likely will haves used very different parameters. So I call bullshit.

[Strutz]

I don't take these "rankings" very seriously. There are always various lists coming out taking different factors into consideration in deciding who is "best". I hardly see it as a basis for superiority.

I knew you would say something like that because in andyland nothing good can come from a Conservative government.

Thankfully your opinion or thoughts mean sweet-fuck-all to me.
