There are very few Mexicans in Canada. Most are in California and Texas.
I don't know if Mexicans "wank" more than other guys without a girlfriend or wife.

Gas prices are coming down tonight.

So far as I know, bowed legs and wanking have nothing in common. If you really are interested in problems related to vitamin D deficiency and skeletal deformities in Canadian immigrants, Wikipedia has a decent write-up about it:

Vitamin D - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The problem you are seeing is most likely not due to lack of sunlight, even in Canada, but to poor nutrition in the home country. Vitamin D is one of the more interesting vitamins from a both a biological and evolutionary standpoint. The wiki article goes into some detail about its biochemistry. From an evolutionary standpoint, ask yourself how such a strange pathway could develop and provide any survival advantage?

I think the affected people, particularly the children, need to be helped and not referred to as cripples. Vitamin D supplements are not expensive and should not be expensive to provide to every child on earth. Unfortunately, ignorance, religious beliefs, and political corruption can thwart the best of efforts to provide such aid. John

According to the "Profanisaurus Rex" - A Wanker is "someone who relaxes in a gentlemanly way.."

When i said "immigrants to Canada from a certain country" I didn't think about the Muslim momen wearing burquas so that they are entirely covered and probably have a severe vitamin D defifiency unless they take a supplement.

I am elderly and I am living in a country that has only a small amout of weak sunshine in the winter. Therefore I am at risk of a deficiency! I better gobble some vitamin D pills each winter. It is too late for the crippled people.

She will need to ask forgiveness for not inviting him to the palace for a cup of tea and crumpets.

A very intuitive comment. My father's side was from Austria and they wound up here because of war. My mother's side was Sweden and they wound up here because of crop failures.
