Question about Canada, does it have as many obese people as America?  

Well my in laws certainly stack the deck :)

Asking google AI:

According to the 2022 Canadian Community Health Survey, 30% of Canadians aged 18 and older were obese, which is an increase from 21% in 2003.

The obesity rate in the United States is high, with 40.3% of adults in the country affected from August 2021 to August 2023

So we're catching up, but not there yet.

Locally we're going further the other way, skinny immigrants flocking to the new housing developments. Which is great, love the increased diversity, so many more food choices now :)
Our town used to be painfully white, so much so tourists would always stand out. Yet obesity rate has always been low locally as well.
