I do not want to repeat what has already been said but I agree that it would be a good thing to start teaching economics in our high schools. I believe things will start changing when people start seeing industrial parks expending, better jobs being available and young people having interesting things to do. We do have a big cultural problem but things are beginning to change.
Let me give you an iconic Quebec example, the Cirque du soleil. This is not a high-tech company. It was a set up in the eighties by people who decided to create a company rather than a cooperative. You all know how successul it has been all over the world. Everything relating to that company is a model.
The same thing applies to Kitchener-Waterloo. I went there recently and I saw how very much things have changed over the past ten years.
