[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Vast majority of Americans will have never heard of St Andrews. McGill is familiar and would be viewed as perhaps similar prestige as a Michigan or UCLA or UVA. [/quote]
McGill is in the [b]top 3 [/b]Canadian colleges. That is way beyond UVA/UCLA & UMich[/quote]
You know more people live in California than in Canada, right?[/quote]
50% of California residents have no formal education and do not speak English.

So yeah, I know that. And more.[/quote]
I think you've just shown exactly what you "know."[/quote]

You say California is more important than the whole of Canada due to bodies on the ground. I ask you to look again at those bodies - a huge number of people living in poverty, not speaking English and not getting access to medical care. It's one very fuked up state.

You need to come better prepared with your examples if you are trying to seriously denigrate a prestigious Canadian college.[/quote]

DP  Well that PP isn’t wrong.  California would have the fifth largest economy in the world if it was a standalone country….over $3T which compares favorably to Canada’s GDP of $1.6T.  And I don’t think you could seriously compare the two based on their relative contributions in technology, entertainment, defense contracting, aerospace or basically anything else other than random raw materials and poutine.[/quote]
