So I guess the secret of success in Canadian society is to ensure you are not in the majority.  Hard to do when one is a  reasonably-healthy, white, Anglo male.  Of course, I guess I might be able to play the "senior" card, and maybe if I look more closely at my family background I might be able to dig up some tenuous link to aboriginal or metis ancestors.  Failing that, I'm afraid my only option is to undergo a sex change operation.  Think I'd rather stay me and unemployed.
