: GamePolitics.comCanadian MP Turned off by Games, Media
By pete_gallagher
In light of Canadian kids receiving an 'F' grade from Active Healthy Kids Canada (AHKC) for time spent in front a screen, MP Dr. Keith Martin (pictured) is proposing a 'national turnoff day.'
The proposed date would encourage kids to switch off TVs, computers and videogame systems in a bid to stimulate physical activity.

'It's just kids are not physically active. They're sitting down for an appalling length of time.
