Monitoring Canada's Progress to Achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals

May 16, 2018

OTTAWA - The Government of Canada is committed to helping make the world a better place, now and in the future. The government is launching a new statistics hub, hosted by Statistics Canada, to support its commitment to achieve the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, a United Nations initiative that brings countries together to end poverty, protect the planet and ensure prosperity for all.

The new Sustainable Development Goals Data Hub—SDG Data Hub—is a one-stop online resource with valuable statistics and metrics to track Canada's progress in achieving the 17 goals of the United Nations 2030 Agenda for sustainable development. The SDG Data Hub will be an evergreen resource updated as new data and statistics become available, and will evolve as global indicators are further developed.

The SDG Data Hub is the result of a collaborative effort among several federal government departments to provide accurate and reliable statistics from many sources, including federal departments and agencies, international organizations and non-governmental organizations.

Data on a wide range of topics will be accessible through the hub, including statistics on the economy and gender equality, official development assistance, income, health, agriculture, and education. Canada's statistics for the global indicators related to the life on land, water and air will also be available.

Lyrics:

My days begin with workin’, Alarm’s at 5 o’clock,
I Fill 5 gallon buckets, The feeders and the troughs,
This five to nine ain’t workin’, why the heck do I work so hard?,
I can’t worry ‘bout health problems, I can sleep in when I’m gone,

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

I’ve been working pretty stressed but,
I ain’t changing for some cash,
Lord knows that I’m very blessed (More chores),
But I gotta say it’s hard,
Workin’ outside gettin’ charred,
Living out here on the farm, (more chores)

One, here comes the two to the three to the four,
Tell em’ ‘buy another cow, we need plenty more’,
Blue jeans are gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history
There’s another 20 chickens that still need feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Everybody on the farm getting’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,

Fun, here on ranch that’s what you can’t ignore,
Might be pretty hard but I love it to its core,
Flannel’s gettin’ dirty, what else could I ask for,
Oh my, more chores (Tell ‘em sing with me)

Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
There’s another flock of sheep that still needs feed,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Someone pour me up another shot of sweet tea,
They know me and working hard’s got a history,
Watching cattle in the dark, don’t miss me,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
(Yeeeeeehaw)
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
Everybody on the farm gettin’ busy,
It’s the best bro, go get yourself a farm
