"Jacques Demers is illiterate???"

The horrible truth about illiteracy in Canada and the US is this: The bullshit about literacy rates being 99% is just that--bullshit. The figure is arrived at by counting newspapers sold per capita. Fact is that the North American illiteracy rate is nowhere near that.

"The 2003 ALL survey measured the literacy skills of adults in seven countries, including Canada, and found that four in 10 Canadian adults lack the literacy skills that are required for most everyday reading requirements. Canada's youth aged 16-25 generally performed better than older Canadians, however, after their parents' education was taken into account, the survey showed a decline in literacy scores of youth between 1994 and 2003."

Sorry to post something so bloody shameful on the hockey site.
