Great discussion with reasonable concepts thought out. University expanding curriculum is costly and many of the courses are of questionable merit, if the university leadership allows this they understand its at their expense.

I think there are plenty of people in Canada who have avoided the university system for both financial and social issues. I like the concept of universities having universal access ...I can't justify it in my pocket book though. Pass on that for me. End subsidy. Cap internationals. Let the market sort itself out. If the university is providing a good service it will succeed. If not, it will fail.

In a society where we carry the knowledge of the world in our hand. Maybe we should be really looking at how our formal education system works. How do we access higher learning.

If you go up St. George Street through the heart of the University of Toronto at two minutes past the stroke of the hour on any weekday, you'll see thousands of students walking between classes. Maybe 15% of them are of European descent. Around 60% are clearly South Asian (Indian, Pakistani, Bangladeshi, Sri Lankan, Burmese).

25:27 Pierre is not anti-business, he is against crony capitalism. How does that make him anti-business?

Complete BS talk. Main reason why so many international students were here is bcus govt opened loop hole 2 years ago. Ability for students to work unlimited hrs without work visa. What changed? Bad press in India media about Canada regarding Kahalisthani terrorism in Canada.
