Canadians share second place among the most satisfied of the planet, a world poll that asked respondents to assess their own lives.
Overall well-being of Gallup survey found that 69% of Canadians surveyed, falls into a category called Gallup "prosperous."
Canada on par with the Sweden, three percentage points below Denmark, whose citizens are apparently the more satisfied with their current situation and prospects for the future.
People in the category "prosperous" rate of their current life at seven or more high on a 10 point scale and assessed their future lives eight or more, Gallup said.
Only two per cent of Canadians was considered to be "suffering." People in this category rated their current lives and future four or below.
Another 30 per cent of Canadians have been regarded as "evil" - somewhere between these two extremes, the survey said.
Gallup has found the majority of respondents "prosperous" only 19 countries - most in Europe and America.
The story has been much less pink 67 other countries where less than one quarter of the inhabitants were booming. In sub-Saharan Africa, the median percentage of flourishing was only eight per cent, with Chad coming down with only one per cent of its respondents deemed be booming.
Gallup said its investigation of welfare suggests that little progress was made at the previous year.
"Overall well-being of Gallup data highlight the diversity of development challenges around the world," the survey company said on its Web site.
"As the uprisings in Tunisia and Egypt has shown earlier this year, leaders should not rely on only GDP as an indicator of how well their countries and their citizens."
The welfare survey results are based on interviews with about 1,000 adults conducted between February and December 2010 in each of the 124 countries.
