Really what’s the difference in the top 10?
Something to be proud of. :)
THE SAFEST COUNTRIES IN 2026
Netherlands Australia Austria Iceland Canada New Zealand United Arab Emirates Switzerland Japan Ireland Belgium Portugal France United Kingdom DenmarkJust for comparison, here is the 2025 list:
Iceland Australia Canada Ireland Switzerland New Zealand Germany Norway Japan Denmark Portugal Spain United Kingdom Netherlands Sweden
What happened in Germany?
The UK is on this? TERF Island?
Love that Japan is on the list because it’s 1) very safe and 2) incredibly racist [but they’re sort of racist against everyone equally]
Also from dear ones who are living there, there’s a good bit of homophobia, too. sigh.
To copy my comment from the other post
How is UAE No. 7?! There are literally emirates where you will get assaulted on the streets for being visibly non cishet, from what I’ve heard. Also according to Wikipedia, gay people can be murdered for the crime of being gay there, and according to Virgin Atlantic, you are not allowed to import “flyers promoting anti-Islam (including GSM) propaganda, intended for distribution”

Is it possible that it’s one of those places where being visibly a foreigner grants you lots of extra privileges that locals don’t get?
We’re like 5 weeks into 2026! How often do these stats get updated?
You might want to check with Berkshire Hathaway. Doubtless for a fee more current data can be made available.
Let’s get to #1.
Good to see for Canada.
