Canada's getting better and better

According to Forbes magazine's fourth annual Best Countries for Business rankings, Canada has shot up the global league table to third place, compared to seventh last year. In the current economic climate the move is particularly welcome. We should be thankful that Stephen Harper's government has been taking us in the right direction. Does anyone honestly believe that the planned Liberal-NDP-Bloc alliance would have done the same? More likely, we would have been challenging Ireland for the biggest loser slot (Ireland dropped 12 places to 14th).
