For years, Canada was known as one of the happiest places to live, consistently ranking among the top 10. So, what happened? Why are we seeing this drop? Well, the report takes into account factors like economic stability, social support, life expectancy, freedom, generosity, and levels of corruption . While Canada still does well in many areas, there are growing concerns about rising living costs, housing affordability, inflation, and mental health struggles that may have impacted the overall happiness score.
One country that continues to shine is Finland —once again taking the top spot as the happiest nation in the world. Scandinavian countries, including Denmark, Iceland, and Sweden, dominate the rankings, largely due to their strong social support systems, work-life balance, and trust in their governments .
Now, does this mean Canada is no longer a great place to live? Of course not. But it does signal that there are areas where improvements are needed. Many Canadians are feeling the weight of financial pressures, political uncertainty, and societal challenges. The good news? A ranking isn’t set in stone—it’s a reflection of the present, not the future. With the right policies and a focus on well-being, Canada can definitely climb back up.
