Thanks for this, albertacowpoke! And, I would like to add that Canada (unlike the United States) also continues to strengthen the commercial and cultural bonds with Cuba. Canada is the biggest tourist emitting market to Cuba.

way to go canada.....great place to be born, safe place to grow up, wonderful place to raise a family and a terrific place to live out your years on this planet.....

& 28th in world for price of Broadband Internet compared to other OLCD countries :(

I would love to live in Canada, its a great country so, well, err, peaceful, but expensive and some what cold.

Yep its a fair title.... Pity a country can not be given a Nobal peace prize, lol

Working with the Asia Pacific Economic Cooperative Conference on Information Literacy, I had the incredible experience of working with the Canadian delegation. Together with the Australians, the participants were world class in promoting collaboration and tolerance for diverse ideas and cultures. That to me was the key to their success.

I've always said Canada is a beautiful 2nd floor loft apartment over a great party!!

Don't get a big head, cowboy, else we'll be forced to invade. ;)

Heck Roy I live in Canada, doesn't that account for something lol.  Amy and Jordan live here too.  Sara, Blue Crush and the Cynic.  Geeze and our star Barry, how much better can it get?

Barry is around, just not as much. He will be back full tilt when he recuperates.

Inconvenient truths and events they clearly over-looked:#1: FLQ Crisis in the early 1970s and martial law in Canada.#2: The 1990 Oka Crisis: Canadian troops in military stand-off with Mohawk Warriors involving heavy weapons and a siege.#3: Violent crime levels far higher than Europe but lower than US.#4: The slaughter of students in 1989 and the invention of the high school shoot out in the 1970s in Ottawa. Canada luckily benefits from the fact most people in the world find the country so dull, they can't be bothered to investigate the country's history, actual reality or how it works.

For full disclosure here are some of the events Iffy mentioned:

October Crisis and the War Measures Act by Pierre Elliot Trudeau

Oka Standoff

Marc Lepines attack on Ecole Politique

As so many countries around the globe, Canada is not perfect and has had its share of violent acts during its history. 

The Committe that made this selection used its own criteria to place Canada into this "most peaceful countries in the world" category.

As one who has traveled extensively, I have never found Canada dull.  That definition, I think, is in the eye of the beholder.  To me Canada has never been dull and Canada is a country that extends for some 3500 miles from coast to coast and about the same distance from the U.S. border to it.s northernmost point.  Canada is diverse and multi-cultural and with it come the same problems that exist in many other countries in the world.

Thank You for your comments Iffy.  I, for one, feel priviledged to live in this vast land and have never found it dull.

Congratulations.

Thank you Alvarez:)

Thank You Gordon Clark for uploading the videos.

Don't get me wrong: I love Canada and think it is an exciting place. Just think ignorance of its true reality is widespread and fuels the 'dull' reputation.
