Saying only 3 are in the top 100, after a significant methodological update but not saying whether or not overall Canadian universities are faring better or worse, seems disingenuous.
From what I can tell from this story, the top 3 Canadian universities moved up within the top 100 (U of Toronto, McGill & UBC moved up, UBC significantly). There is also a cluster just above 100s.
So unless there were a group of Canadian universities that fell out of the rankings, Canadian universities seem to be placing higher.
Not to mention that Canada is only about 0.5% of the total world population, so having 3% of the top 100 schools is pretty good. We’re actually 6% of the top 50 too given these rankings.

Anyone else have anything from other coverage?
