Happy Canada Day! But you may have less to celebrate than you think
This year's report also contains some myth-busting items.
Canada does very poorly in rates of child poverty, with one of seven children considered under the line and most surprisingly in levels of crime.
For instance, Canada has 17 times the rate of assaults, seven times as many burglaries and three times as many homicides as Denmark.
But even more surprising is that the United States, which is last in the society category, still has fewer burglaries, a lower suicide rate and greater gender equity than Canada.
