RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:RE:oil positive todayAccording to the United Nations, Canada ranks 16th out of 193 countries in terms of life expectancy. Both sexes combined, life expectancy at birth for Canadians was calculated at around 83 years. This was around the middle of a cluster of developed countries with life expectancies over 80 years. The United States, for example came in at number 46, possibly due to obesity issues, gun and gang violence and lack of access to affordable health care.
