According to the 2023 Best Countries ranking by U.S. News, Canada is the second-best in the world overall this year, behind Switzerland. Sweden, Australia, and the United States rounded out the top five overall countries. The move up to second is an improvement from 2022, when Canada was ranked third overall by U.S. News. To
Despite what Canada’s nation hating extreme right would have you believe.
I don’t know how they measured this at US News either, but the digital nomad experience is pretty different from the local experience. By digital nomad standards certain third world cities are great.
I’m not sure I really have a favourite. Every country has good and bad. There are some parts of the USA (ex. Colorado, Washington) that I really like. But also the USA has its own issues that we all know about. France is beautiful but there can be civil unrest, taxes are high, etc. I spent some time in Singapore and it’s very safe, clean, great food, but it’s also stale and far from a lot of places. Culture comes into play a lot. I can recognize that somewhere is a great place to live but it’s not for me. I didn’t grow up there, I don’t speak the language, etc. In Europe I feel most “at home” in the Netherlands.
Different things matter to different people. So saying things like “this country is #2” are meaningless. Countries I personally would rank above Canada: USA, Netherlands, Norway, Australia, New Zealand.
I have been to a lot of first world countries for extended periods as a digital nomad. Canada is not even in the top 5 imo

What you believe doesn’t change reality.
What U.S. News believes doesn’t change reality either. These rankings are and always have been subjective BS
Whatever you have to tell yourself, dude.
