MODERATORS
See, that's the thing. The 10 factors in the ranking include 1) Entrepreneurship, 2) "Open for Business", 3) "Movers", 4) Power, and 5) "Agility", or a place that is 'efficient in its actions, adopt and accept modern solutions'
So, like, half the factors are "how badly do you screw the environment and average non-capital-class citizen"
And in case you think I might be wrong about what they mean by "Movers", the top 5 are the UAE, Qatar, Egypt, Saudia Arabia, and India.
Of COURSE our country, which is composed a bunch of oil, gas, and mining corps in a trenchcoat shaking hands with a couple of oligipolistic banks and telecoms will score well.
Look at the source: its a law firm who brings immigrants over to Canada. Of course they're going to pump our tires. It helps them with business.
This comment needs to be higher up.
This kind of article isn't news, it's marketing.
Putting us in 2nd is like 9/10 dentists
Where did you find the source link? When I clicked on the link it brings me to no specific article with no sources, just here:

How the hell did we rank well then? Our productivity is very poor, and our economy is trading houses. The amount of capital flooding the housing market over the last few years is crazy.
