Teachers in Canada

So, a lot of Americans are responding to my post about teaching hours, and they are missing something very important.

The teachers union here in Canada is incredibly powerful.

In the public board, teachers start straight out of school at 32K, and get a yearly raise which, depending on education, tops off as high as say, 72K. They also have a benefits package which is nearly unrivalled in quality.

In the US, I have often been known to say that teaching should be so important that it pays a lot of money, so that it attracts smart, talented people.

In Canada, this is arguably actually the case.

Wrought Iron, anyone?

Can two finished wrought iron products be attached by welding? Or by any other method, for that matter?
