we don't talk that often....and really. phone cards here are not
expensive. muahaha! though yes, in the long run, skype is still
probably cheaper.
and no the influx of asian immigrants won't do much good. the
time of good immigrants is over.
and it's not canadians that are not entreprenuerial enough.
it's....not something you can explain simply in a few lines. it
will involve geography, history, etcetcetc...
I agree with you about the immigrants bit .... canada's letting
in all and sundry nowadays .... but then that's a mistake
Singapore's making on an even bigger scale ... 
and I tell you why canadians are not entreprenuerial enough ....
life is too good .... no one in school talked about striking out on
your own ... why would you want to slog, when you can graduate and
make 3-4k a month starting, pat your backside and leave by 6 every
day and go off to the cottage by the lakes in the summer, and go
down to mexico in the winter ? ...
I don't think the asian immigrants are any more entreprenuerial
than the native born ... just that previous deprivations force them
to slog harder than others .... plenty of second and third
generation migrant offsprings I see exhibit the same traits as the
native born too ...
