As the United States and European countries struggle to cope with mountains of debt accumulated through a series of market crises, massive bailouts and recession, one nation stands out for having avoided the sordid cycle of bailouts and debt. Canada and its banks were barely touched by the epic 2008 financial crisis that nearly brought down the U.S. banking system and led to the biggest recession since the Great Depression. That has led the International Monetary Fund and World Economic Forum to showcase Canada for having the healthiest banking system in the world.
The legendary editor of the New Republic, Michael Kinsley, once held a "Boring Headline Contest" and decided that the winner was "Worthwhile Canadian Initiative." Twenty-two years later, the magazine was rescued from its economic troubles by a Canadian media company, which should have taught us Americans to be a bit more humble. Now, there is even more striking evidence of Canada's virtues. Guess which country, alone in the industrialized world, has not faced a single bank failure, calls for bailouts or government intervention in the financial or mortgage sectors. Yup, it's Canada. In 2008, the World Economic Forum ranked Canada's banking system the healthiest in the world. America's ranked 40th, Britain's 44th. Canada has done more than survive this financial crisis.

Beginning with their publication of Legal Determinants of External Finance, Rafael La Porta, Florencio Lopez-de-Silanes, Andrei Shleifer, and Robert Vishny (LLSV) asked: "Why do some countries have so much bigger capital markets than others?" According to them, the answer lies in the legal environment of the country -- its legal origin. LLSV conclude that because common law countries have better investor protection mechanisms and better enforcement, bigger capital markets are more achievable. While LLSV classified Canada as a common law jurisdiction in their studies, Canada actually stands out as somewhat unique in the world financial markets as one of the few countries with both common and civil law traditions. Perhaps one of the most important results of the LLSV study was to facilita...

TORONTO - Canada thinks it can teach the world a thing or two about dodging financial meltdowns. The 20 world leaders at an economic summit in Toronto next weekend will find themselves in a country that has avoided a banking crisis where others have floundered, and whose economy grew at a 6.1 percent annual rate in the first three months of this year. The housing market is hot and three-quarters of the 400,000 jobs lost during the recession have been recovered.
