Overall, Canada holds down the ninth spot on the 2015 UN index of 188 countries, which was based on 2014 data. OTTAWA — Canada sits on an enviable top-10 perch when it comes to quality of life around the world, but a new analysis points to significant disparity among its provinces and territories. At the other end of the spectrum, says the report released today, Nunavut would have had a quality of life similar to that of Latvia or Croatia. Albertans, for example, enjoyed a quality of life in 2014 comparable to that found in countries like Switzerland or Denmark, says a new report that seeks to replicate the United Nations human development index for Canadian regions. It tied with New Zealand one slot below the United States.
