"Canada has a stable political system, economy and market; an open and tolerant society; and policies that encourage immigration."

We're No. 1!

For the second year in a row, travellers, market research groups and other experts agree that our country boasts a stellar reputation, the best in the world, in fact. But did we really need a third party to tell us that? In recent years, we've shown the world that we can throw a party like it's nobody's business.

The 2010 Vancouver Olympic Games put the country on a global platform that illustrated our warmth, our natural beauty, and our self-deprecating sense of Canuck humour that endears us to the world so. Moreover, who knew we were such great mimes?

RE: miming mechanic who fixed the pillar that failed to rise in the opening ceremonies. According to the Country Brand Index, Canada's tourism tagline "Keep Exploring" is a strong, successful marketing campaign, as is our iconic maple leaf, easily identifiable as distinctly Canadian.

 O, Canada, we like to think we speak for every proud Canuck when we say, we truly stand on guard for thee.
