    Provinces have been skimping on funding universities, because post-secondary institutions can get so much cash from international students.

    To the point where even a 35% decrease in new student enrollment means a loss of $1 billion for just Ontario over two years.

      Yes. This is a provincial funding issue not a tuition issue. Governments realized they could milk so much money from international students they got to depend on it rather than funding education properly, and it sucks.

      Micromanagers are bean-counting every last piece of paper and staple as if that will solve the issue rather than just telling government to fuck off and fund it properly.
