Put Canada wherever it suits your agenda. Canada isn't the point for that link. You nailed it when you suggested that America is somewhere down in the teens.It would be nice if you quoted a current article--Jan. 15, 2020, c'mon man, that is even pre-scamdemic. I found an article that spoke to the "happiest countries" but can't seem to find a current "best quality of life." The happiest article said Finland, Iceland, Denmark, Netherlands, Switzerland (top 5, as I recall) and Canada was like #7. The US was in the teens somewhere, I believe. I ran a thread on it yesterday.
Here's a newer link that's somewhat similar. I didn't count how far down America is but it seems to fall below the line for 'flawed democracies.
