## Resource

Canada’s global ranking plummeted to 19th place, a sharp drop from 2nd in 2023 and 4th in 2024, now trailing only the U.S. in the new U.S. News ranking system that prioritizes “operational health” over perception. With 100 hard data points from global institutions, Canada excelled in culture and tourism but struggled in governance, opportunity, and infrastructure—highlighting a shift toward measurable performance over sentiment.
