Here is a comparison of Canada, Australia, UK, USA

Just something I saw posted on facebook and though I would share. Seems Canada has been slipping each year though...

[Mr_Canada]

We'll be back to being our peaceful selves soon... I hope...

Before the Conservatives Mulroney the country up.

The Tories are the party of bad times.

Brazil more peaceful than Russia. Who'd have thought!

[Brenda]

Indonesia more peacefull than Turkey??? Okayyyy...

I'd be a little bit more of a believer in their rankings if, they explained how they achieved the results they got. As it reads now it's simply a self proclaimed peace groups biased opinion.

[Mr_Canada]

China is more peaceful then Amerika...

Also, freakinoldguy:

I wonder if these readings are just on domestic peace or if they also include the nations forgien policy (ie, Canada being involved with Afgan)

Having a powerful military makes you rank lower on this scale.

Maybe we should completely mothball the CF just so we can move up a rank or two.

Then why wouldn't China come in dead last with the largest standing army in the world?

The whole thing seems pretty wishy washy imo.

People with "agendas" usually do.

[Mr_Canada]

So the few of you against this index think there is some sort of agenda against America, the Middle East and Russia?

[Scape]

Really impressed with Chile and Uruguay but Portugal? What about the bombings from the basque separatists?

Here is the corruption index for 2008 as of September:




We are 9th

I have doubts about it's ratings. Considering both Canada and Australia are shown as the most peaceful yet we are engaged in Afghanistan and Australia was in Iraq.

Why would he bother? The last thing I saw you post, you had a politician that ran a deathwatch for his oppenent as a source.

You have no credibilty on your own site.
