The United Commonwealth of America

Added benefit, Canadian schools score very well internationally.

[Al B. Sure!]

We have a law forbidding Canadians from accepting them.

Yeah. That didn't pass here in the US. An American citizen can accept a title of nobility and retain citizenship. Also, lawyers are 'esquires' and judges and public office-holders are 'the honorable' (although that one might not be much of a nobility title).

I would also think that military officers being 'gentlemen' and 'sir' would be like a title of nobility conferred by the federal government.

The second last paragraph should be a give-away.

That part got lost in "tl;dr" syndrome.

When I was a wee lad, my dad used to have my magazines shipped to my name, with ", Esquire" at the end. Always got a kick out of it.

Another broken sensor.

Perhaps Toyota will issue a recall.

I never thought you were serious. Just upset.

surely not as well as US schools

I should clarify. Foreign honours are forbidden.

We have our own, home grown versions. Ex PMs are always 'right honourable' or some such, and we have a nobility of merit in the Order of Canada with no official priviledge other than recognition for good citizenship and contribution to society (or some such).

[Al B. Sure!]

Foreign honors are allowed here.

Depends on the school.

In some areas, Canadian schools compete with the best internationally. The University of Waterloo in particular is up there in CS/engineering/theoretical physics. IIRC it's the #1 school for new hires at MS. Or at least it was back when MS was most relevant.

[Hauldren Collider]

Of course it depends on the school. But the best schools are American schools.

[notyoueither]

Overall, better IIRC.

Up to HS, not college.

Your sensors are broken. Badly.

[Asher]

Depends on the field.

Most are American schools due to obscene amounts of money floating around in high society.

I don't think there's a singularly better CS school than Waterloo in the US.

Back before it got broken off by glass-steagle?

[Asher]

What does Glass-Steagle have to do with MS?
