Gosh, that sounds a lot like taxes in the US. A sizeable chunk of my
income goes toward educating (or at least testing) children and I don't
have any.


The capitalist argument here is that investing in the education of
children is a capitol investment for the nation as a whole. The result
will be doctors and scientists for the future. I.e. it benefits
everyone, not just those with kids.
However, Canada sending housewives out to work in order to pay for the
child care of other kids doesn't seem to have transient benefits in
the same way.
(Sorry, didn't mean to be too MBA here).


Strangely enough (and to get back on topic), aviation is one of the big
sticking points for me moving to Canada. I understand that it's alive
and well in Canada and was an integral part of opening the vast
wilderness, but I really hate the way some of it appears to be run.


Yes, but so in Alaska. Canada values aviation because it needs it. The
lower 48 need it but has a hard time understanding that need.
