The UN Human Development Index had Canada as "best" for many years, a
placement that our Prime Minister trotted out ad nauseum at every
opportunity.
In 2001, Australia took over top ranking. It was huge news in Canada (it
slipped to #3 behind, I believe, Norway). It was barely mentioned, and
hardly
news, in Australia that their island continent was now, according to UN
standards, "the best place in the world."

I think it was because it was telling them what they already knew.

So, basically what you're arguing is that the entire planet should be
Australian patriots, because we've been told "we're the best"? Because if
you're not saying that, then I really don't know what you're on about, at
all.


Trolling, the last refuge of the scoundrel.

No, I genuinely believe that people who willingly go to flag raising
ceremonies
are morons, participating in a pointless tribal ritual.

You're as likely to find me at one as you would find me at, say, a church
service.

yeah, you do sound a bit shallow and without a soul
