A light bulb has finally come on in Justin Trudeau’s cabinet. Dim though that bulb may be, it has sufficient power to illuminate a glaring weakness in how Ontario funds post-secondary education.
Sean Fraser, the new federal housing minister, offered the opinion this week that the 807,260 international students in Canada are putting pressure on the Canadian housing market. That’s not terribly surprising, since the number of international students has more than doubled since the Liberals took power. It’s also a problem that Fraser failed to address when he was immigration minister.
While it’s gratifying to see the federal Liberals tentatively identifying a link between the number of people flowing into the country and the shortage of housing, it’s Ontario Premier Doug Ford who really has to wake up.
The foreign student scam is harming Canadian citizens.
Are our politicians so dim they didn’t see that coming or are they just malevolent destroyers?
We need to close a lot of these woke universities. They are toxic.
