This Toronto Sun article about Tamils doesn’t really surprise me a whole lot. The article cites a government survey which reveals that most successful Tamil refugee claimants return to Sri Lanka after receiving their papers.

I would swear that each and every time there is a major literacy study, the percentage of illiterates gets higher.

Now, either the teachers in our publicly funded schools are totally inadequate (which some would debate is the case) or it is how illiteracy is defined that is responsible for the ever increasing numbers. And, while I think that decades long social promotion and no-fail policies are likely not helping the literacy rates, the latest StatsCan report is, without a doubt, misleading.
