Canada facing high youth suicide rates, child mortality, new report finds
Progress to improve child and youth well-being in Canada is lagging compared to other high-income countries, according to a new UNICEF report.
It ranks Canada closer to the bottom than the top of the list when it comes to adolescent suicide rates, child mortality and competence in social skills.
“All orders of government in Canada have an opportunity to concretely address the downward trends we see in this Report Card — and frankly, an obligation to,” Sevaun Palvetzian, president and CEO of UNICEF Canada, said in a statement to the Star.
Liberal governments will do that to ya.
