the political instability index suggests some aspects of the societies in all of these countries. My guess is that Canada being on the bottom of the index hints at the lack of voice of minorities in that country and that includes - First Nations (lip service moniker for Native Americans, without any land of course!), so-called East Indians (i frequently point out that we are india-everyone else is defined by us and not the other way around!), the African community. Paradoxically the higher political instability in the US and India may suggest greater participation and voice!
