Microsoft recruits good people who can get good jobs anywhere the y choose. They are hardly underpayed prisoners. Work ethic has nothing to do with it It's math and science, since most kids go to public school I would have turned in around and rubbed it in the senators face. and yeah Canadians have a complex and Americans don't even think about Canada, hell probably don't even know where it is
The reason why Canadians are so obsessed with the US is because their news stations play more US news than Canadian (Mainly because nothing interesting is ever happening in Canada). Have you ever watched canadian tv? I was in vancouver a few weeks earlier this year, the most exciting thing was some oil/gas awards? And the most exciting thing to watch in Quebec are south park reruns in French. Canadian tv has its positives too. For example, there are less diet/weightloss programs because they aren't such fatasses.
Yes, it's too bad that Canadian television is not as interesting so that we don't watch 8 hours of TV a day like the average American does: http://www.smartbrief.com/news/uste...d=C7F9F430-EAC1-4EF1-8FEF-68BBA016E36C&lmcid= I think Canadians are up to about 4 hours a day of Television on average, perhaps someday we'll be able to catch up to you.
