The strength of the country is measured in natural resources and human resources. Canada is a nation that is doing everything roight lately. Thanks to strict banking laws, Canada did not suffer the meltdown in the credit system that affected so many other countries like the USA, Spain, GFreece, Portugal and Iceland. The U.S. housing market cratered and the middle class was devastated as reverberations of the financial meltdown of 2008 reverberated around the globe.
To further strengthen Canada's prospects for the future is a populace willing to make sacrifices to gain a college education. Rah, rah for a peaceful, prosperous country with a stable currency and strong banking system! Canada has the rule of law without oppressive laws but gun control is important in this peaceable nation, avoiding Juarez, Mexico conditions. What a great place to invest, if you value stability, an educated populace and plenty of unexplored mineral lands, clean air and water, and a medical system rival to any nation in the world..

With spiking tuition costs, insurmountable loan balances, and the unemployment rate for recent college graduates hovering around 53%, it’s clear that a college education hasn’t gotten the best rap lately. Despite the ongoing financial woes across the globe, though, many think that college is still worth the investment.
A new study shows that we’ve continued to flock to institutions of higher learning, enrolling at record rates over the past few years.
Not surprisingly, the percentage of adults with degrees soared highest in developed nations, reaching 30% in 2010. But which of these nations can boast the status of most educated?
Based on a study conducted by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), 24/7 Wall St. compiled a list of the 10 countries with the highest proportion of college-educated adult residents. but topping the charts is:
Canada — the only nation in the world where more than half its residents can proudly hang college degrees up on their walls.
In 2010, 51% of the population had completed a tertiary education, which takes into account both undergraduate and graduate degrees.
Canada commanded the top spot in the last study in 2000, but even still has shown serious improvement. A decade ago, only 40% of the nation’s population had a college degree.
Snagging the number two most-educated spot was Israel, which trailed Canada by 5%. Japan, the U.S., New Zealand and South Korea all ranked with more than 40% of citizens having a higher-education degree.
The top 10 most-educated countries are:
1. Canada
2. Israel
3. Japan
4. United States
5. New Zealand
6. South Korea
7. United Kingdom
8. Finland
