international peace and security is the funniest one

It's definitely environment. They have Canada in 2nd place despite being a major oil producer and the world leader in both tar sands and fracking, while last place is reserved for Zimbabwe which has <2% of Canada's CO2 emissions per capita.

his rationale for this is because canada has a lot of remaining resources. like there is probably i dunno a lot of bauxite or whatever up in the middle of nowhere that we know is there but isn't economically viable or is protected by what shreds of environmental protections remain. that's why congo, australia and brazil score well.

That is a completely nonsensical reasoning for rating someone highly on the environment.



no it makes total sense. Canada has a lot of environment

i had a friend of mine tell me her Venezuelan father had to leave Caracas for the EE.UU. after Chavez started bringing in all these Cuban doctors that "didn't know what vaccines were for what" and just completely brainwashed into loving Castro/untrustworthy as medical professionals so that's why socialized medicine could never work for the gringos since it doesn't work period

western chauvinism is worst chauvinism

at one point something like 30% of cuban doctors that went to venezuela immediately fucked off to the US. the US created a special visa category just for them and works hard to flip them. in reality though, 30% attrition isn't that bad considering the fact they probably get paid subsistence wages now in some community clinic in a poor neighbourhood in caracas and the CIA is offering them like 200 grand a year and they can live in a nice house in miami or whatever.

... the "peace and security" area is flawed: it penalises countries involved in armed conflicts abroad or that sell arms. Couldn't one argue that this fosters a stable world?

Someone at The Econmomist actually wrote that with a straight face

Canadian mining companies are notorious for polluting the shit out of Central America and then using hired guns to assassinate peasants and activists who disapprove. they even sued El Salvador's govt. in an international tribunal for banning a specific mining project once.

in the 2014 World Values Survey the US is by far the most left-wing country http://www.worldvaluessurvey.org/WVSDocumentationWV6.jsp we have the most people who see themselves as 1, 2, or 3 on a scale of 1-10 from left to right

the number of 1's in Zimbabwe is down to 10·5%, the US has 11·3% now, up from 4% in 1990 when that survey was taken

edit: here's the US numbers
