"For much of the past decade Canada has been rated as one of the best countries to live in by conventional measures of longevity, knowledge and living standards. But these are highly unusual times. Consider the extraordinary acceleration of technology, the economy, and globalization. Consider also the expanding hole in the ozone layer, the confirmation of dioxins in Arctic mothers' milk, and recurring smog alerts in the Great Lakes region. Our privileged rating, based on a healthy population and strong economy amidst plentiful natural spaces, has so far proved resilient despite tumultuous change. But for how much longer, and with what effort?"--Page 3 of 14. |
