Actually BJ, from what I've seen of the actual results every few years, Canada is not always the country with the highest/best standard of living, but we are always ranked quite high in the top 5, again...only from the years that I've seen the results. I don't think I'd ever go so far as to boast us as #1, that's just not true of any one country in the last 10 to 20 years.
Also, believe me when I say that per capita, Canada has just as many stupid people, again...."per capita." (look it up if you have to) (I mean look up the meaning of the term "per capita" hee hee) There are many ways to get oneself classed as stupid. I'm sure that if you were to round up 1000 people from all over the world and toss them all in one big room and evaluate them intricately, you'd no doubt find that the % of fucking idiots remains constant no matter what countries you grab them from.
Mag, your reasoning is again clouded for some unseen reason. Just because the French are in the majority in Quebec gives them cause to whine and bitch?? Great, I'll keep that in mind during the next big "push" by the Quebequois bloc(heads). Something the separatists fail to remember when spouting their endless diatribe is that not all French in Quebec want to separate.
