In Ontario, the data shows foreign students recruitment has spiked significantly since 2018, when Premier Doug Ford took office.
The following year, Ford’s government froze post-secondary funding, cut domestic tuition by 10 per cent and launched a program explicitly designed to attract international students and their lucrative tuition fees to public colleges.
Foreign students have been an easy way for governments to avoid funding post secondary institutions for decades.
Sometimes Canada feels like three corporationsextractive industries in a trenchcoat. Here we are, sucking tonnes of cash out of (mostly) developing economies, and the only reason this is getting airplay is because of the housing crisis.
No shiiiiiiiiit
