You live in Ontario John, so you know there is a decent education
system. it is i\one of the best in the world. But there is not much
point in educating too many people to post secondary levels if there are
not jobs available for them. You end up with people who won't accept low
end jobs because they aren't good enough for them.

FWIW, Britain only started sending prisoners to Australia after the
American Revolution because up to that point, they had been sending them
to the American colonies.
