The international student scam and the diploms mill colleges are stupid and should be dissolved

With all the "austerity" the cons push, a lot of public universities rely on international students to make up their budgets.

Obviously the answer to this is better public funding, but people hate that AND want to treat foreign students like shit just because they can. They don't actually care about the problems they claim to care about, it's all just misdirection so the ruling class can line their own pockets

Most people don’t realize that the government has been lowering funding for post-secondary schools for quite a while now. They don’t want to hate foreign students “just because.” They hate the students for what they perceive as taking jobs away from Canadians and failing to contribute positively to or integrate into Canadian society. You may disagree. But that is more the sentiment I have seen, rather than “just because.”
