QS World University Rankings for this year have 31 Canadian universities in it, but only three have made the top 100.

The headline of this article is very strange. It implies that 3 in the top 100 falls below expectations. What number would have met our baseline expectations?

Japan, a country with 125 million people that puts a big emphasis on education and research, has 4 universities in the top 100. France, a country of 68 million, has 4 universities. Germany, 84 million people and 4 universities. The entirety of Latin America has 3 universities in the top 100, ranked at #85, #93, #94.

If anything, this is a huge win for Canada. This article almost feels like propaganda.
