The Fraser Institute burying the lede. How shocking.
I can also cherry pick something that tells a very different story with something HDI at the sub-national level in North America.

GDP/capita is also a shit measure of societal well-being. If country of 10 people has nine people making 50,000 a year and one making 500,000 then the GDP per capita of 95,000 isnt very useful and that phenomenon is responsible for a large part of that GDP gap sub-nationally.
That said, Im all in on recognizing we need to improve our national productivity and output.
