Charging 4x the tuition fees for international students should be labelled as a crime to beginwith. It's high time to make Canadians pay that kind of money for their degrees and not live in the merry world of subsidised education for domestic students.
Critiques differential tuition pricing for international students as unjust, combining economic analysis with fairness concerns.

It's completely destroying the Canadian youth employment, aswell. Corporations are being incentivized by the Canadian government to hire temporary foreign workers so our youth unemployment rates have gone up to 15%+. Walk into a McDonald's, Taco Bell, Tim Hortons, etc, and you'll see nothing but Indians or Bangladeshis who barely speak English. In small towns you don't really see this, but in any major city like Vancouver or GTA you will.
The comment focuses on youth unemployment and job displacement due to temporary foreign workers, with anecdotal observations presented as evidence of economic harm.

I think a lot of people assume that countries like Canada aren't capitalist behemoths like the U.S. because we can't be - but it's because we don't WANT to be. Largely, the population wants to succeed by ways that don't make everyone else suffer, because a rising tide raises all boats. \nSoon, the wealthy American will have to reckon with the fact that a desperate and underemployed, oppressed, poverty-imposed public costs more in the long run. In profits, in security risk, in social behaviors and in health.
Argues that Canada's economic model prioritizes social welfare over profit maximization, discussing long-term economic and social costs of inequality.

I appreciate having true leaders for the people and prosperity with morals and standing. Today in USA several grocery stores were out of produce from Mexico and wondering gas, car and energy prices going going up. This is what happens when you have spineless leaders wanna be dictators. Putin is benefitting ?
Focuses on economic impacts (grocery shortages, gas/energy prices) as evidence of poor leadership, grounding critique in material consequences.
