Anyone out there know exactly what she completed beyond high school.?.

Clark was born in Burnaby, British Columbia on October 29, 1965. Her father, Jim, was a teacher and a three-time candidate for the Legislative Assembly and her mother, Mavis, was a family counsellor. Clark attended Simon Fraser University (SFU), the Sorbonne in France and the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. She studied Political Science and Religious Studies but did not graduate.[5][6]

She got a pretty good job with having just a high school diploma, eh? No wonder she is not putting money into advanced education and skills training. "If a high school education is good enough for me, it's good enough for everyone else!"

So, out of the quote that you gave, you are saying that she did not have anything above a high school education??? Interesting that you would think that something is of no value unless you get the piece of paper at the end. An education is something that nobody can take away from you.....however, here we have that being attempted.
I know plenty of folks who have taken years of university level courses but have not received a degree, sometimes because of interest, sometimes because life presented other opportunities.

She did not even complete one year in any of these institutions.

E.g. SFU. http://www.robbinssceresearch.com/polls/poll_781.html

Whats the big deal of a post secondary education? Some of the most succesful people in the world do not have a degree. More importantly, outside of a specialization, what does a degree get one these days. I think it is ignorant to judge her by the level of education, especially considering she is more succesful that 95% of the people posting on Castanet.

Successful at what-talk shows??

[flamingfingers]

^ An approval rating of 25% is deemed "success"?

^^ I'm still waiting for the answer to how this article http://www.castanet.net/news/BC/90398/1 supports your assertion that Clark isn't putting any money toward advanced education or skills training?

^^This is available to kids born after 2007 - to be accessed when they are approximately 20 years old (i.e. around 2027!!)

We need skills training NOW.

Creative "spin" notwithstanding, the fact is it's a program put in place "now" to plan for education needs not that far off.

Just goes to support the position that regardless of what Christy does, some will find a way to "spin" it in a negative fashion, because nothing will ever be good enough.

Can't help but get the feeling some are allowing personal bias, be it gender, or character, overrule what is in the best interests of the many.

If that's considered success these days then I guess I'll stick to being a failure.
