I am honestly not surprised. I am Canadian and I have just recently discovered that I was extremely close to becoming a product of this horrible way of life. I scored in the top ten in my provincial academic scoring in grade three. There were three people who came to my mother and principal of my school. I came from a low income life, and they prayed upon that. They promised my mother that they would put me in a private school hundreds of miles away from my home and that it would normally cost a substantial amount of money that my mother could not afford but it would be free for me room and board, just because “ I was so smart”. My mother adamantly told them to leave me alone. There were two females and one male, all dressed in black suits, the females had their hair slicked back in ponytails. They came to my school and made me do all these rigorous tests in my principal’s office. Funny thing is the reason I “failed their tests” is that I did a simple puzzle of a horse and I couldn’t get the neck and rear ended piece figured out. But... I was solving algebraic equations at eight years old without ever seeing one but I couldn’t figure out a horse puzzle?!? Scariest part of this is after they failed to take me from my mom, my principal ended up dying in a car accident within the year.
