Benchmark Canada compares more than 40 measures of the country’s performance

The Macdonald-Laurier Institute launched Benchmark Canada, a project that assesses the country using more than 40 measures.

It covers areas including the economy, health care and immigration.

The project compares Canada with countries facing similar issues, rather than relying on a single ranking.

Its measures are intended to bring together facts that can be assessed and compared.

Countries do not usually receive report cards, and broad rankings can oversimplify how they perform.

The comparison could help Canadians see where the country stands across different areas.

The National Post plans to examine many of the measures in the coming weeks.
