It was a sad, weird conversation I had with my younger son tonight. [View all]

[NNadir]

We talked about how lucky he is to speak French fairly fluently and soon to complete a Ph.D. in nuclear engineering.

He shouldn't have any problem getting out of the country, need be, highly skilled and bilingual. (He also speaks some Chinese, Spanish and even a little Japanese and Russian.)

I also learned how serious he seems to be getting with his girlfriend, also a nuclear engineer, who regrettably only speaks English. It's a concern. That he's concerned, says he's serious. They should have no problem getting visas into Canada, assuming Canada is safe with a huge huge border with a fascist state.

I quite like the young woman; she's obviously very bright; funny with a wicked sense of humor, and very easy to talk to.

Scary times, that I have to think of how my son can escape this country and get a resident visa elsewhere.
