And that's the real shame, isn't it? Canadians have some of the best amenities in life --- clean air, free primary and secondary education, healthy food, health care and a general lack of deprivation. The environment is there to develop so much potential and ambition and yet many young people are content with "just a job" (a high-paying one to be sure) and a hedonistic life. If Canadians had the drive and ambition, they could really leave a mark in the world.
