HI Tony

Just a question of clarification.  In the posting below, you didn't say 
if the people hired from american universities in your department were 
Canadians or from the U.S., or if you were inquiring about Canadians from 
Canadian universities trying to get jobs in the U.S. I always assumed 
that each country would tend to prefer its own nationals all other things 
being equal, and thus have'nt much hope of getting hired in Canada (I'm 
from NY).

Is my assumption wrong?  What do others know?
