Canada · Political Stability · WGI

## What this measures

The perceived likelihood that Canada's government is destabilised by unconstitutional or violent means, aggregated from surveys and expert assessments.

## Why it matters

The jurisdictional risk every long-lived investment carries — a mine, a plant, a concession.

## How to read it

Zero is the world average; each unit is roughly one standard deviation across countries. Read the direction over several years.

## What it does not say

A perception index built from many sources with wide margins of error; small year-to-year moves are noise.
