Canada is among the more peaceful countries in the world, but still a ways from the top, according to the Global Peace Index released Tuesday by Britain's Economist Intelligence Unit.
The index, which ranks a number of internal and external factors, found Scandinavian countries among the most peaceful, taking the top three spots.
Canada came in at No. 11, one spot ahead of Switzerland and two ahead of Sweden, which came in 13th.
That compared with Britain at 49th spot and the United States at 97, a ranking that had it behind countries such as Kuwait, Nicaragua and Libya.
... The U.S. ranking was one place lower than last year and way below countries such as Costa Rica, Madagascar and Chile.
