A new national poll shows Quebecers report the highest levels of happiness in the country.
The Leger Happiness Index surveyed nearly 40,000 Canadians earlier this year to understand how people feel about their quality of life in 2025.
The average national score was 68.7 out of 100.
Quebec topped the list with an average score of 72.4, followed by New Brunswick (70.2) and Newfoundland and Labrador (69.5). Nova Scotia landed in the middle of the pack at 68.2.
Ontario scored slightly below average at 67.2, while Prince Edward Island and Manitoba ranked the lowest among provinces.
The poll also found that 49 percent of Canadians said their level of happiness had stayed the same over the past year, while 28 percent said it had declined. About 23 percent reported feeling happier.
Mississauga and Montreal were the only large cities to score above the national average.
The results highlight regional differences in well-being across the country.
Leger says the index captures a complex picture of resilience, vulnerability, and social dynamics that shape Canadians’ day-to-day lives.
