A large part of our talent acquisition would stay home, as the Asian countries, especially China, are expanding their investments. American students would go to work in European universities due to the lesser language barrier. When the US was a developing country a large number of children of wealthy families were sent to study in Europe.

I don't think the idea of looking outside the US for knowledge would be natural to many people of this generation. I wonder what the effects on our culture will be - it would certainly reduce the pride.

I think at least some of them will come up to Canada. No language barrier, and close enough geographically and culturally to keep most of your connections. We pay less but live longer on average.

Seeing all this unfold is doing amazing things for our national pride, ironically.

Canada is on the brink of serious economic trouble...

Recession, housing costs, restricted immigration choices coming soon. This has been brewing for years but the US trade war sped up the timeline.
