What really seems to bug Attaran are those “numbskulls” that only have a high school diploma because 37% of those voters back the Conservatives compared to just 25% of the “uneducated” backing the Liberals.
And to really rub it in, that means 63% of those "uneducated, low-income numbskulls" vote left.

You seem to be making the popular lefty mistake of confusing educated with intelligent. They are not necessarily the same. Who is smarter, the girl that went and got a trade that pays around $100 000 a year or the hystory PHD that is working the nightshift at a selfserve gas station because that is all the job skills he has?
You seem to be making the popular Old Stock Canadian mistake of whimpering about SOSHULISM! on your way to get some single-payer health care.

And intelligence and education aren't "not necessarily the same," they aren't the same at all.

Yes we are taxed over 50% of our income to pay for that free health care . I bet you can hardly wait for that day .

You're taxed over 50% of your income, eh? All you get out of it is health care? Well, you get tens of thousands of service personnel to spit on, for one.

Ever get any government contracts?

No I only spit on losers like you . Where are these 10’s of thousands of service personnel, certainly not in the Canadian forces , there are more bureaucrats in the DND then soldiers in our army .

For the lucky few. The vast majority of those with history PhD's are NOT working in their respective field.

Yes. The advanced degree helps qualify them for many positions outside of their field of study.

I knew 6 people with a PhD in history, only one is a tenured professor. One went on to become an international insurance consultant. One went on to teach writing and computers at a law firm. One became a "gender specialist" for a non-profit. One works as a research consultant. And the last one works in underwater construction and demolition. He also has a PhD in philosophy.
So while they are all in pretty decent paying jobs, only one of them is actually using their history degree.
btw in Canada over 50% of history PHDs teach .

You do hallucinate a lot, have you thought of perhaps getting a skull transplant...

Well, that sure explains why no one really seems to know much about actual history...
;)

It should be pointed out that Canadian institutions have something like twice as many phds teaching as do Americans. And the UK? Almost none.

That's actually a great thing for us and the main reason why we are such a mecca (pardon the islam) for foreign students

but white nattys cannot take pride in a country that dismisses them out of hand for the stupidity of their beliefs

I read a PhD’s dissertation, an educator with the Vancouver School Board , more gobbledegook then even Hoid is even capable off . Enough to make the head spin . Of course she is one of the stupidest people I have ever met .

over 50% vs your claim of 1 in 6.

that's quite a difference

50% vs 17%

no I don't think I will bother citing what is a well-known and easily obtainable fact.
