Vindicated - internships for science grads already in Canada

Wonderful SCWIST event last night with Sang Mah of MITACS. The best part was the young women science grads who bent the ear of the presenter during and after the presentation. Among their statements was -Why do you bring students when we are right here, Canada is wasting our lives, no response to our resumes. I added that it is not that Canada's top universities can't compete with US ones, it is that Canada's reputation for not hiring people in their field is spreading and top students are choosing to go to the US where there are fewer needless career barriers. Imagine knowing for years that this problem exists but standing there and saying some lucky others have the opportunity to do up to 8 internships.
