Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city 
The pollsters must have read the positive views on "charcha" 
------------------------------------------
From the article:
No. 10: Canada
Population: 33 million
Life Expectancy: 80 years
GDP Per Capita: $34,000
Canada may sometimes feel overshadowed by its giant neighbor to the south, but a strong sense of national identity and abundant natural beauty help make the sprawling and sparsely populated country one of the world's happiest. Canada also punches above its weight economically, with a huge $1.1 trillion GDP and per-capita that ranks among the world's highest. It also has strong health care and a low crime rate
Actually, Top 9 Nations have population less than 10 Million.

I sure do when u compare with the big brother south.
This is common misperception. Canadians spread this propoganda to make themselves feel better about their country and living in poverty due to high taxes when they could be using that extra 10-15% income to spend more on luxury goods like Americans!
I lived in 4 states in USA and crime rate is definitely lower than Toronto.. !
Plus comparing rates in inner city USA to Canada is like apples to oranges.!
