How Canada is treating it's children

One way to rate a country is by how it treats its children.

Canada ranked 17th of 29 countries in an overall ranking compiled by the child-focused international humanitarian organization.
The report shows Canada’s standing hasn’t improved since a prior report in 2007. The first report was based on data from 2001-03, while the current one contains data from 2009-10.
"As a Canadian, I'm ashamed," says David Morley, president of UNICEF Canada. He says Canada is "stuck in the middle of the pack against other wealthy countries, and that's just not good enough."

Not bad until you look at "Health and safety" as well as cannabis use...... this is our future?
