Canada has slipped to 15th place in the annual World Happiness Report(opens in a new tab).
Down from 13th place last year, Canada now sits behind countries like Costa Rica, Kuwait and Austria.
“What’s happened in Canada and the United States is that over the past few years, those under 30 have become much less happy than they were 10 or a dozen years ago,” Canadian economist and World Happiness Report founding editor John Helliwell told CTV News Channel on Wednesday.

The slaughter of livestock is compared to the Holocaust in a shocking new documentary – which also claims Jesus Christ was crucified for condemning the killing of animals for food in a secret 2,000-year coverup.
Christspiracy: The Spirituality Secret, the follow up to Seaspiracy and Cowspiracy, documents a wealth of somewhat bizarre claims in an attempt to lay bare the cruelty humans inflict on animals in the name of religion, as filmmakers Kip Andersen and Kameron Waters hunt out an ethical or spiritual way to kill.
A child forced to slaughter a young deer as part of a Christian initiation, the mass sacrifice of cows at a Hindu festival in Nepal, and prisoners tasked with killing 3,000 cows a day are just some of the uncomfortable scenes that feature.
This explanation offers everything and more including a silo. We simply don’t hear much about conception in a grain silo and that needs to change. pic.twitter.com/eZAnyEArRJ

Liberal MPs say that they hope their Montreal colleague Anthony Housefather stays in caucus after he said he was “reflecting” on his future with the party following a debate and vote on a non-binding NDP motion over recognizing Palestinian statehood.
That comes as Canada’s foreign minister faces questions over the country’s arms exports to Israel.
“I am going to be thinking for a while,” Housefather said in a text message to Global News on his future with the party.
Documents obtained by CTV News Toronto are shedding light on the extent of the city’s obligations to FIFA in hosting games for the 2026 World Cup, including tax breaks and a requirement that public transportation fares be free for ticket holders.
The 242 pages of documents were obtained through a Freedom of Information request and contain the host agreement signed by the city in 2018, as well as a 2022 addendum, though many of the pages are redacted.
They lay out the terms under which the city is responsible for bearing many of the costs of the games, including providing FIFA with office space and equipment “of the highest quality”; city beautification; free public transport for pass holders, ticket holders and media during the games; setting up ticket facilities and covering any municipal taxes FIFA might incur.
China’s Sinochem Group has purchased one of the first crude cargoes shipped through a new pipeline in Canada, which is designed to move oil from landlocked Alberta to the Pacific Coast for export.

I consider myself a pretty tolerant person. If you want to call yourself a woman while sporting a beard, more power to you. It’s none of my business.

Some have complained that in pushing for more diversity the church is getting unnecessarily involved in US-style culture wars
Church leaders have defended the appointment of “racial justice enablers” tasked with addressing “white fragility” after being accused of potentially alienating ordinary worshippers with the plans.
A number of Church of England dioceses have appointed individuals or teams to address racial inequality in their regions. In Birmingham, an anti-racism practice officer has been tasked with “deconstructing whiteness” in the West Midlands.
Don Lemon — who submitted a wish list that included demands for a free Cybertruck in contract talks with X before he was unceremoniously dumped last week — also wanted SpaceX boss Elon Musk to launch him into orbit for the first-ever extraterrestrial podcast, The Post has learned.
“First podcast in space to be hosted by Don (via SpaceX),” the bulleted line item reads.
The literally out-of-this-world ask was on a document Lemon’s agents at United Talent Agency sent to Musk’s social media site that also included demands for a $5 million advance on top of an $8 million base salary, equity in the company, and veto power over the site’s news content policies and its roster of creators, as The Post reported exclusively last week.
It was a small thing, really, but one of those small things that feels like a sign of something much bigger.
This week, the military junta that rules the African country of Niger announced the revocation of its military agreement with the United States, and the coming expulsion of U.S. troops based in the country. The country’s leadership also announced its turn to Russia. The move followed a disastrous visit by American officials, who arrived to lecture the hard men who led last summer’s coup about the need to restore democracy, and to stop talking to Iran about providing it uranium.
This story will make Justin cry.
A reward of up to $50,000 is being offered for information leading to the capture of a convicted firearms trafficker after he was released on bail for a third time and skipped his sentencing, Toronto police say.
Kamar Cunningham of Toronto was arrested as part of Project Patton in June 2018 for his involvement in an organization that trafficked guns over the U.S. border, Toronto police said.
