Interesting link, thanks Robert
All sorts of fascinating information...
including this table:
A composite index measuring deprivations in the three basic dimensions captured in the human development index—longevity, knowledge and standard of living—and also capturing social exclusion.
Measuring only 17 developed countries, the US comes in last. Canada is 11th, not great, I think in large part because of our crappy handling of native people (almost 3% of the population - in the US it's less than 1%).
