Canada like many countries is very top heavy.

And tons of people who would be great teachers, and frankly would be much better than the current population of teachers, go off to be accountants and engineers instead.
If you took a room full of teachers and gave them a problem, and then gave the same problem to a room full of engineers, my money is on the engineers every time.
I think its naive to think the country is best off by paying politicians nothing and expecting all these great competent people to just come out of the wordwork, forgo their high paying career just to serve in a government.
