          If the Mexicans are happier than the Americans and the Canadians, you'd think the migration flow would go from north to south.

            How exactly does one measure happiness, I wonder.

              I agree, the ranking seems kind of weird in some aspects.

              I remember hearing some world leader say that the best way to measure how good a country is, is to have every country open their borders and check the + and - of the migration.

                If Brazil isn’t top then the list sucks.

                Only non-witches get due process.

                    An old girlfriend of mine is there now - in Florianopolis. Looks spectacular.

                        Must be something in the water in the nordic countries.

                        Education is extremely important.

                          Indeed. Mr. Meldrew is Britain's happiness representative.
