"It's the Stupid, Stupid!"

Ahh, the glories of the public education system in Canada.

Behold: Canadian university students cannot locate Italy, identify the ocean off of Canada's east coast or locate Africa on a map. 

They have graduated from high school and have gained entrance into university without knowing these most elementary geographical facts.

Why do public educators, our moral and intellectual superiors, hate facts with such a passion?

Why? Because facts are MEAN. Facts are HATEFUL.

All that counts are FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELINGS and SELF-ESTEEM.

We're screwed.
