It depends on your definition of a good university.

For you, the most important result might be economic gains/growth and for others, it might be scientific/academic achievements such as Nobel prizes, research papers, major scientific breakthroughs, etc.

If that's the case then the US is not the only education superpower.

I agree.

The US is easily the only education superpower.

Go check the nobel prizes of US vs Canada.

You're not taking into account the size of the US. If you look for per capita Nobel prizes the US is not even in the top 10.

Per capita doesn't matter when it comes to being a superpower.

The US is an economic superpower and norway isn't even though norway's per capita GDP is larger than the US.

People are so interested in pushing their agenda that they refuse to address my point.

My point was that canada isn't an education "SUPERPOWER". I'm not saying canada is a bad country. I'm not saying other nations don't produce nobel prize winners. My point was solely about the article's propagandistic use of term "superpower".

You can twist data/stats any way you want. Under no definition is canada a superpower of anything, let alone education.

I'm just pointing out what a absurd "article" BBC pushed out.
