I have British friends who wanted to emigrate to Canada, but they would only accept the son who was a vet, so useful. Not the daughter with only a minor qualification, or the parents in their 60s. Makes sense economically, as the parents would have become a drain on the Health Service, and the girl might not have found a job. So why should we .......................................?
