Canada tops The Economist’s Top Ten Most Liveable Cities. Again.
Once again proving that Canada IS better – The Economist’s 2010 index of the World’s Most Liveable Cities is loaded with Canadian cities.
For the third year in a row, Vancouver tops the list, with its picturesque mountains and coast line, its unparalelled outdoor activites, and who’s kidding who – it’s world-class cannabis. After their impressive hosting of the 2010 Winter Games, no doubt the world agrees.
Also holding their own in terms of liveability – Toronto and Calgary remain at their 4th and 5th positions from 2009, making Canada the top ranking country on the index AGAIN. This is empirical evidence of Canadian superiority in the world, people!
The Economist ranks liveability by rating each city in terms of stability, health care, culture and entertainment, education, and infrastructure.
Check out the top ten below (which happens to omit any mention of that global superpower that seems to always think it’s #1):
Rank, Country, City, Rating
1, Canada, Vancouver, 98.0
2, Austria, Vienna, 97.9
3, Australia, Melbourne, 97.5
4, Canada, Toronto, 97.2
