New England born, have lived in Midwest for two decades. Montreal, Toronto, BC… all are so much more “home” than anoxic, inland U.S. If your child seeks worldly, scientific sanity in the beautiful country of Canada, count yourself lucky. My Canadian grandmother would have been stunned, after her very long, proud struggle toward U.S. citizenship, to see her great grandson up in the middle of the night post-election researching Canadian schools. McGill is wonderful and I hope he gets in.
