Yes, send Canadians abroad to learn marketplace competitive skills!

Here is what one initiative should be:

1. Send tens of thousands of Canadian students to Hong Kong and Shanghai and Beijing and Chongqing.

2. Teach them how to get jobs there as businessmen leading Chinese companies where mass profits derive from factories where workers are paid a fraction of Canadian wage levels, where toxic pollution belches in the air at rates illegal in Canada, where the organization of muscular labour unions is illegal, and where worker safety is overlooked right from the morning in commuting through thick smog from factory pollution.

3. Once each student has amassed ten million dollars in that system in China, teach them how to sneak the money to Vancouver and Richmond, breaking the laws on amounts allowed per trip.

4. The students then successfully compete to buy houses in Vancouver and Richmond, something they previously couldn't do.

Excellent lesson in marketplace competition!
