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.
