Canadians at Waterloo enjoy a heavily subsidized world-class education, at the tax-payer's expense, then leave to contribute nothing to the economy that produced them.
Interestingly, some also come back later in life to enjoy subsidized health care to which they've also never contributed.
I wonder if there's a way to structure post-secondary education subsidies as a sort of debt that you can pay off by either remaining employed in Canada, or in cash if you decide to leave.
Disclosure: UW Comp Eng '98 grad, still in Canada.
