losthellhound... I'm surprised you feel this way... affirmitive action is hardly an issue in Canada.

Goverments grants (when we had them) and loans are available to everyone (it's how I managed to put myself through university)

To my knowledge (which could be lacking) there is no affirmative action movement in Canada. There may be scholarships and bursaries available based on ethnicity but I see those as being just as valid as a sports scholarship. I'm not black and I'm not an athelete so I didn't expect to win either...
