The life expectancy of Canadians is at 80.7 years old - up slightly from 1999, according to Statistics Canada. StatsCan released updated figures related to life expectancy and mortality on Monday. Life expectancy in Canada in 1999 was 79. Rates in 2005 to 2007 rose for both sexes. Men lived on average 78.3 years while women were living to about 83 years old, according to the figures. British Columbia and Ontario had the highest life expectancy at 81.2 years old and 81 years old, respectively. Canada's three northern territories had the lowest life expectancy. People in Nunavut usually die the youngest, according to the figures, at an average of 72 years old. Yukoners live, on average, to about 77 years old and Northwest Territories residents live to about 78 years old. Of the provinces, Newfoundland and Labrador had the lowest life expectancy at 78.3 years old. People in Nova Scotia, Manitoba and Saskatchewan, on average, also don't reach their 80th birthday. The data is part of an examination of Canada's health indicators, which are collected in conjunction with the Canadian Institute of Health Information. It measures Canada's vital signs by looking at over 80 indicators, including health status and health system performance.

Nah,the actual Canadian life expectancy is 37 years. It just SEEMS like 80 years because they live in Canada.

That reminds me of the old U.S. joke that the reason they have different colors on the currency is because the Canadians can't read what's on them, aye?
LMAO!!!
Socialist ass-hats think "There will be no more money when the U.S. dollar has no value, until that time we can keep printing more." And yes, that IS from LF's answer to Ben Bernanke, go65, leading disfunctional and delusional socialist of the forum. "You want me to kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, I'll kill THE ENEMIES of Jappos, Rebs, or Sioux, or Cheyenne... For 500 bucks a month I'll kill whoever you want. But keep one thing in mind: I'd happily kill you for free." Algren, "The Last Samurai" Life expectancy in Canada reaches 80.7 years
