...which is one of the (many) reasons I'm delighted to be Canadian. I like that DS has the prospect of attending a world-class university and not impoverishing his parents in the process.

For the information of non-Canadians here, many Canadians take the approach of attending a highly ranked Canadian institution for undergraduate and/or master's, then completing doctoral or postdoctoral work at a US school like a Stanford. The most expensive undergraduate programs are in commerce and engineering, and domestic tuition runs ~$10-$15K/year. Arts and science undergrads typically cost $6-$10K/year. (International students pay considerably higher rates.)

What is to give light must endure burning.
