Canada ranked 6th-most miserable country by think tank.
(*out of 35 countries, but still.)On Tuesday, the Fraser Institute revealed where 35 countries rank on its Misery Index, an economic measure based on inflation and unemployment rates.
With its Misery Index score of 10.88, Canada was the sixth-most miserable country, thanks to its 3.15 per cent inflation rate and 7.7 per cent unemployment rate in 2021.
Spain was the most miserable, with a score of 17.61, followed by Greece with 15.73, Italy with 11.96, and Iceland with a score of 11.26.
Japan and Switzerland were the least miserable countries, with scores of 2.61 and 3.57, respectively.
France, the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. were all deemed less miserable than Canada.
