The official call went out yesterday - the Canadian Space Agency is hiring astronauts.  Those who meet qualifications should apply.  See the CSA website for details
http://space.gc.ca
Oh, I really wish I stayed at university instead of transferring to technical school.  I wanted to get a degree, for this opportunity alone, but I couldn't torture myself beyond that first year.  Oh well... I hope some deserving Canadians get the job.

If it was in 3 years I would totally apply (although not get in but it would still be cool)
