I'm not quite a straight A grade student. Whats you opinion of the Canadian Education system?
My son is a graduate of McGill (he also has Masters from Bishops University, University of British Columbia, University of New York and Harvard) and if you compare the entrance requirements at Harvard (which could be the equivalent of Oxford and Cambridge) there is absolutely no comparison...

McGill has an excellent reputation throughout the world... I don't know anything about the University of Toronto though...

But, if I were you, I would chose McGill because you would also have the advantage of living in Montreal with its French heritage and culture...

I am a graduate of Palmer College in the US... and the student body were from all over the world and I found it to be an excellent learning opportunity...

I also would like to thank you for your views on global warming... quite balanced and as logical as could be for such a complex topic...
