Thanks for the link. But let's not advertise it too much - we like to keep it a secret :)

Let's advertise the weather in Canada, especially Alberta this week. That'll stop people from thinking about moving here! Thankfully, it did not stop me from migrating here many years ago!

Thanks again!

wow. The U.S. has ten times the population of Canada. I didn't know that. California alone has more people than Canada.

Congratulations to my Canadian friends. That is an outstanding achievement by Canada.

Canada have been ranked #1 for the sixth consecutive year. That is an achievement that every Canadian sure be very proud to have achieved.

Your neighbor to the South the United States of America is ranked number twenty (20).
That is not all that bad for a country our size and with our total population.

The United States total population is more than the top ten countries combined in this ranking.

Having traveled extensively in 7 of the Top Ten and lived in a couple of them, I’ll still take the USA (except a few states). No real objection to any of the Top Ten.

Look hard enough and you can find a 'Top10' rating for darn near anywhere. Different strokes for different folks. It is said that the 'Happiest people on Earth' live in Denmark. OK. But why? And how does that differ from 'best' place or 'Quality of Living'?

If you're happy where you live, GREAT! If not, try someplace else.

Denmark ranked #2 in this survey for the best "Quality of Living.."

Many people are “happy” where they are because they don’t know how “happy” they would be over the hill, where the grass is greener.

Right now, the grass is probably all brown (or covered in white) in those two places.

Ah yes, the literal interpretation. That’s not why people in those countries are happy.

Exactly! I can think of reasons why I could live happily in at least 5 different countries, including my own Canada. So I spend as much time as I can in each of them. My reasons for ranking my top 5 are probably completely different than the next person and rightfully so.
