Canada no longer one of top 10 freest places on Earth 26 January 2023

Canada no longer one of top 10 freest places on Earth

THUNDER BAY, ONTARIO ~~~~~  January 26, 2023  (LSNews)  Compiled by Canada’s Fraser Institute and the U.S.-based Cato Institute, this year's study finds that for the first time since 2012, Canada does not rank among the top 10 freest countries worldwide.

The index measures personal freedom — the rule of law, safety and security, identity and relationships, freedom of movement, speech, assembly and religion — as well as economic freedom: the ability of individuals to make their own economic decisions.

This year, Canada ranks as the 13th freest country in the world, down from 6th in last year’s ranking.
