Yes I agree with you. Canadians are quite well educated. The problem becomes the lack of opportunities for all of those people. You end up strong competition for little jobs, which drives the wages down.
Couple that with the very expensive housing market, and you get educated young adults that struggle to settle down.
Across the border in the US, opportunities in the STEM and plenty and wages are much better. US has lots of problems, but attracting talent is not one of them and Canadians talent is super easy to enter the US
Good points. It is always good to keep and educate the ideas in context.
Humans are the most intelligent species based on the ability to change the environment to suit us. Human intelligence have made us extremely adaptable to extreme environments as well.
That does not mean we're the best at surviving on an evolutionary time scale. Many species have us beat at that.
I'll add that some of those that have the means of doing something are doing something.
Another thing. People that don't think climate change is real will learn the hard way when their livelihood get impacted by its consequences. Deniers can ignore reality, but it certainly won't ignore them
Commendable to resist such pressure and remain as objective as possible
