To MBA or not to MBA...

Now I'm looking at online MBA and other (e.g. MSc) courses, and I can't help but notice that there's a lot more innovation in the space in the UK then there is in Canada. I wonder how that's come to be.

For instance, in the UK it's possible to earn an MSc in Audit. This is directly in line with what I do, and hunting around LinkedIn I see a few Canadians who've completed the program. Where is it's equivalent over here?

rand()m quote

Naturally the common people don't want war: Neither in Russia, nor in England, nor for that matter in Germany. That is understood. But, after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine the policy and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the peacemakers for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.

—Hermann Goering
