Lol, Canada in the first column (barely) then just drops off...

Canada's PPP and quality of life seem to decline every year due to brain-dead government policies.

Canadians will still insist we're the richest country in the world though. The propaganda here is wild in that it's super subtle but everyone will insist things are great even in the face of overwhelming evidence.

Edit - lol and here come the down votes, even in the face of actual evidence in the article.

Canada’s GDP is awesome as long as you include real estate, but selling the same set of houses back and forth with ever increasing prices doesn’t really improve the lives of anyone

Yup. Stats would look even worse if the economist used income instead of GDP per capita. The difference between the numbers is larger for Canada than, say, France or Germany.

I agree with you. There seems to be a wave of mass delusion coursing through Canada. The average person seems to think that high immigration demand is a measure of the country's wealth and status. In actuality, it reflects the depth and scope of our increasingly unaffordable safety net. For instance, if free health care was not available, many immigrants would think twice about moving to Canada.
