71% of Waterloo software engineering grads leave for the US. The brain drain damage threshold is 20%. Canada is at 3x the red line. Think about that. Canada taxes its people at 60% in part to fund a university system to train its best and brightest to flee the country and make the US GDP spike. Who is spiking US GDP at the moment? All the Canadians working for Anthropic and OpenAI in AI. How crazy is that? What do the Canadian tax payers get for their generosity out of this?
