[QUOTE="klein, post: 894040, member: 23950"] [SIZE=4][B]Canada top destination for business, Forbes finds [/B][SIZE=2]During the run-up to every U.S. presidential election, countless Americans threaten to move to Canada if their preferred candidate does not emerge victorious. Of course, few follow through with a move north. Maybe it is time to reconsider. [/SIZE] [/SIZE][SIZE=4][SIZE=2]Canada is the top global destination for business, according to a new Forbes ranking that touts this country's economic resilience as much of the world battles major financial woes. The top ranking marks a jump for Canada from fourth place in the ranking last year, which was due in large part to scoring higher in the tax category. Canada was among the top tier of countries when it came to protecting investors and dealing with red tape, with the report saying it is relatively easy to start a new business in Canada. The Forbes ranking described Canada as "an affluent, hightech industrial society in the trillion-dollar class," and said Canada and the U.S. had many similarities, including its "market-oriented economic system, pattern of production and affluent living standards." It stressed "while the U.S. is paralyzed by fears of a double-dip recession and Europe struggles with sovereign-debt issues," Canada has stayed cool in terms of its economy, with a jump of 3.1 per cent in 2010 and more growth - at 2.4 per cent as forecast by the Royal Bank of Canada - expected in 2011.
