This talk was given at a local TEDx event, produced independently of the TED Conferences. Jaxson speaks on the idea of "uncertainty" as it relates to youth employment and the development of the next generation of Canadian leaders in politics, business, journalism, and social justice. His vision for Canada and the role that youth will play in this future is inspiring, but he emphasizes the commitment and faith required to get there.

Named one of Canada's Top 20 Under 20 young leaders, Jaxson Khan is working to make Canada and the world a better place. Jaxson is a leader and co-founder of the Young Diplomats of Canada, and a partner with the International Diplomatic Education Association, which engages the country's top young professionals in global diplomatic forums and leadership opportunities.

About TEDx, x = independently organized event In the spirit of ideas worth spreading, TEDx is a program of local, self-organized events that bring people together to share a TED-like experience. At a TEDx event, TEDTalks video and live speakers combine to spark deep discussion and connection in a small group. These local, self-organized events are branded TEDx, where x = independently organized TED event. The TED Conference provides general guidance for the TEDx program, but individual TEDx events are self-organized.* (*Subject to certain rules and regulations)
