- Do you care to elaborate on this? "Hugely inferior... in all
- respects" is a bit of a broad statement wouldn't you say? It's all a
- matter of taste, mate, and you have simply shown your ignorance in
- systematically categorizing the people of an entire country, a country
- that, as pointed out earlier, has an immigration rate somewhere in the
- neighborhood of twice that of the US per capita. And that's because
- Canada offers many opportunities in education and the possibility for
- a better life.
