Canada Named 'Most Reputable Country' In Time For 150th Birthday



Happy 150th birthday, Canada — you're the world's most reputable country.



The Reputation Institute's latest survey of most reputable countries has given Canada a first-place finish, up from second place last year. Canada bumped last year's winner, Sweden, to third place, behind Switzerland.



In the six years the survey has been carried out, Canada has never ranked worse than second place.

"A country's reputation has a direct impact on tourism, its exports and foreign investment," Fernando Prado, a managing partner at the Reputation Institute, said in a statement.



"The striking thing about Canada is that the nation's reputation is equally strong both inside and outside its borders — which should be a source of pride on its 150th birthday."



The United States saw the largest decline among the 55 countries surveyed, dropping 10 spots to 38th, from 28th last year, something the RepTrak report blames squarely on U.S. President Donald Trump.



A larger number of respondents disagreed with the notion that the U.S. is "run by an effective government" (down 21.6 per cent), "has adopted progressive social and economic policies" (down 11.8 per cent), is an "ethical country with high transparency and low corruption" (down 11 per cent) and "is a responsible participant in the global community" (down 9.2 per cent).

It's venomous?



It's carnivorous?

[Bricktop]

No, its not carnivorous.



The male has a venomous spur in its hind legs.



The platypus is the most perplexing and complex mammal on the planet.
