Canada is well known for being a stable and safe country in many ways. Canada is economically and politically stable, safe and reliable as well as the Canadian banking system is one of the safest throughout the world. As already stated, Canada has a safe and predictable economy. Amongst the Group of Eight countries, Canada's economy was the first to rebuild the employment losses during the global recession. Canada is able to continuously stay strong and recoup itself after any level of economic crisis, which reassures that Canadian and foreign businesses can overcome any obstacle along the way. Canada has one of the lowest debt-to-GDP ratio. As one may or may not know, debt-to-GDP ratio represents the cost of national debt to the profit of national GDP which allows Canada great financial flexibility and reduces the risk of the Canadian dollar becoming debauched creating an excessive inflation. "Overall [Canadian] economy is resilient and growing, Canadians live in a safe and secure country" ("The Canadian Advantage", n.d.).
As one may be aware, the stability of a government plays a big role in the economics and basic lifestyle of a country. When a country is booming, it is brought on by the political system. Canada is a democratic system and because of this the citizens of Canada are very peaceful people when it comes to the government. This is because the people in power, have been chosen by the people of the country. This alleviates risk of uprising and riots which is good, because these lead to damage in the stability of the country and the country's economics. "Canada has been deemed the fourth most peaceful country in the world behind only Iceland, Denmark and New Zealand on an annual ranking of peacefulness" ("Gustavo Vieira", 2012). Canada is also at peace with many countries due to the Canadian role as peacekeepers. Because of the peacekeeping that Canada does, the country has strong ties with many countries and it is very unlikely that any country would declare war on Canada. Thanks to the political stability of Canada, businesses do not have to worry about threats or excessive costs to their business.
Lastly, Canada is recognized for the remarkable banking system within the country. Canadian banks have a reputation of being very safe and reliable. "Moody's ranks Canada's banking system number one in the world for the financial strength" ("Invest in Canada", 2011). Canada currently has six Canadian banks placed in the top fifty reliable banks by global finance, four of which are ranked in the top twenty. According to the World Economic Forum’s 2008-2009 Global Competitiveness Report, Canada has the soundest banking system anywhere. The strength of Canadian banks keeps the Canadian economy strong as banks are the backbone of financial aid throughout the country. Having strong banks creates less risk of inflation and tax increases. "During the global financial crisis, no Canadian bank or insurance company failed or required bailouts" ("Invest in Canada", 2011). Because of the Canadian banking system businesses are more capable of getting loans or monetary assistance if needed. In the end, Canada is a very safe and reliable country to invest in and to bring Olive Garden across.
