Grand Challenges Canada: Canadian Rising Stars in Global Health - Sample Submission Video.wmv - YouTube:
My question was really focused on the negatives of obesity in Canada, but we have to look at both sides of the argument to get a full picture. Canada has seen a rise in obesity rates in the last few years, but our numbers are far better than countries like India and China. And it's obvious why it would be so because Canada is a leading nation in healthcare and we don't have huge discrepancies between social classes, and the majority of people receive healthcare needs when they require it, yes wait lists are long for many operation and services, but waiting is better than never receiving the help. In countries like China and India the discrepancies between social classes makes it possible for only some of the citizens to acquire healthcare where many cannot afford. This video basically explains Canada's duty to help developing nations and be role models for a better and healthier future.
