Take a bow Canadians, you're number one in the world's eyes! The findings relating to Brand Canada from the NBI Q2 2006 report include:
1. Canadians won the People Brand category when panelists were asked “I would like to have a person from this country as a close friend” and “If I visited this country, the people would make me feel very welcome”
Canada ranked first
Australia ranked second
Sweden ranked third
The European Union ranked fourth
Switzerland ranked fifth

I just dont get why people from Sweden are number 3 on this list, since I think of them as a bunch of boring uptight socialist snobs and Ive met quite a few. I think high of the French people and their country on the other hand.
Why are the EU listed as one country and one kind of people" when we are 25 very different countries and kinds of people?

3. In the Governance category, Canada achieved third place when panelists around the world were asked "This country is competently, honestly and fairly governed" and “This country respects the human rights of its citizens and treats them with fairness”

My impression of Canada as well but you could easily add most of the older EU countries and especially Germany to this list as well. The U.S obviously dont qualify for anything in this category, it never did and it never will. People who think it does are naive brainwashed dumbasses and mostly americans by the way.
