Canada, the land of the strong and free, isn’t so free anymore, according to the Human Freedom Index (HFI), produced annually by the Fraser Institute and U.S.-based Cato Institute.

For the first time in more than 10 years, Canada did not rank in the top 10 freest countries worldwide, based on various indicators of personal freedom such as freedom of movement, speech, assembly, religion, and economic freedom.
