I have no doubt that is true. This year we were in two very poor places and I would say the generally level of happiness was much higher there than Canada. One place that I would expect would be happy is Las Vegas but anytime I've been there I see the most stressed out grim faced people.

Polls suggest that the French are more depressed than Ugandans or Uzbekistanis, and more pessimistic about their country's future than Albanians or Iraqis. A global barometer of hope and happiness puts the French second to bottom of a 54-country world ranking, behind austerity-battered Italians, Greeks and Spaniards, and ahead only of Portugal.
