• Canadians are seen as more optimistic and complain less.
• Both countries have similar cultural values, economic structures, and abilities.

None.

• The question asks about why countries like Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and the US have fared better than other European colonies in terms of wealth, democracy, and stability.
  • One explanation given is that stability and peace are major criteria for long-term economic prosperity and these countries have had stable government for over a hundred years, no foreign invasion for over a hundred years, and social cohesion for over a hundred years.
    • This is due to the legacy of the circumstances of their colonial past where these countries were settled in such a way that the relatively low native populations were swamped by the influx of settlers.
    • This led to societies that were mostly cohesive with a long tradition of peaceful stability.
    • These societies formed around the same time and their transition to modern states occurred gradually over a couple of hundred years.
  • Another potential explanation is that these countries are largely defined by their coastlines and two internal populations of differing numbers and technology.
    • Canada and the US share a massively long, mostly artificial border that can potentially be explained by their shared British culture.
    • Australia and New Zealand both treated their respective native populations differently, but relative wealth today is due to Australia having more natural resources and industry.
  • MIT economist Daron Acemoglu argues that the main determinant of a nation’s success is the extent to which they are able to enshrine inclusive economic and political institutions, but what leads a country to adopt inclusive institutions is a confluence of all sorts of reasons.
    • The rise of China questions this theory and Botswana’s success may be attributed to its low population and lack of friction between ethnic groups.
