There is only a limit to what education can do for many people. I used to work in warehouses and factories in Montreal doing general labor. Many of the men I worked with were very bright and competent. However many of them were so stupid that they were capable of only doing the simplest tasks like putting stuff in boxes.

I don't have a good solution to the disappearance of blue collar jobs. I believe it's more of the loss of self-respect that comes from having a job that matters the most. Perhaps we should have a basic income for people in Canada.
