The federal and provincial governments have been underfunding universities for decades. Recently, universities were able to start recruiting foreign students to make up for the shortfall, but it looks like that money tap will be turned down. It doesn’t look like there’s a plan to make up for it.

At the same time, the feds want to

recruit more than 1,000 top international researchers to Canada, with the budget injecting up to $1.7-billion into a suite of recruitment measures.

That’ll be tough if universities see their income crater.

      Guy. You’ve been all over the place with your uninformed criticisms. I don’t think you really even understand what it is that has you so upset at universities, but there is something playing out before us.

        I’ve worked in hospitals and have seen first hand how much money goes to the top while the rest of us struggled and some of us literally died. If you have no issue with how much money is being spent at the top, that speaks to you and your views.

        Im for free education

          Great. You’ve worked for hospitals. But surely you can see, if you take a step back, how it kind of proves my point if that is what is informing your opinion about fucking universities.

          You get that universities don’t get to decide whether or not education is free, right? You’re pissed off at the wrong people, YET AGAIN.

              Notice how you are unable to actually address anything I say. You’re angry for unrelated reasons and you’re looking for places to put it, but you’re not smart enough to find appropriate places. Talk to someone.
