      It’s hard to take seriously your complaint of the poorly educated when the complaint contains poor spelling and grammar.

        I dunno, that depends on how you look at it. From a certain point of view it provides at least one point of evidence to the idea we may be close to our carrying capacity of under-educated people.

      In my case we’ll be staying in Germany, but having an option to move to Canada with our multiple Phds instead of going back to the US (if forced out of Germany for some reason) would be preferable.

      We also have some kids who are going to be looking at college in a few years. If they could have an option to to Canada cheap, that’d rock. Then you’d have some more educated Canadians hanging out and paying taxes.

      I did make sure to teach the kids the rules of ice hockey. I know it’s on the driving test there, right?

      I myself am “applying,” but am not doing it “just in case” nor do I intend on moving there. I’m earnestly doing it because Canada is cool, and the spirit and letter of the law is recognizing “lost Canadians” as Canadians. I honestly don’t look at it as an escape route, but ask me again when my son is draft age.

      Look, it’s ’just In case’.

      They think differently, they think everyone wants them around
