We're still the most educated country on Earth by a good margin, so it's hard to see it getting that bad.

But yes, our immigration system is fucked. We select for all the best and brightest people, and then put them to work at Tim Hortons.

It always surprises me when I see the stats. We really do have a lot of degrees per cappita

Unfortunately being educated is not in and of itself a protection from that kind of thing. As is easily seen by a cursory examination of the statistics. Our talented people are leaving and that is a major problem and worse Now intelligent people are just using Canada as a stepping stone with the intent of leaving shortly after they get here because it's easier to get into countries like America from Canada than it is from some of the countries they come from.

Either way we're getting slaughtered
