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.
