Quick: Name a wealthy, North American country that values self-reliance, individual freedom and personal ambition.

Sure, you could take the easy way out and say the United States. But you’d be just as accurate if you said Canada. In fact, new research shows the American Dream — the ability to improve your prospects through hard work, personal initiative and grit — is more vibrant in Canada than its native land.

Isn't the American dream simply an ideal made possible by the ease of social mobility? If that's the case I would say the American Dream would be the most vibrant in Denmark.

The stability of Canada's economy is only temporary. The Canadian dollar is part of the USD index and when the US dollar crashes so will the Canadian dollar. In addition, 70% of Canada's exports go to the US.
