Is Tuition Really THAT Unreasonable in Ontario?

I'll take your word for it. AB is doing a lot of carrying as well these days.

Quebec... soo.. heavy..

I think that, at this point, Alberta is carrying more than Ontario. Since the petro-dollar is driving the economy, it seems fair. it would help if they weren't virtually giving away the farm to foreign interests, at pennies on the dollar, though.

well you gotta realize that from AB's point of view, it doesn't matter who owns it, the royalty is the same. The selling is being down by domestic companies being acquired and believe me when i say that many of these companies are being bought at a price well above the market. - EG. Daylight Energy to Sinopec, Encana to Mitsubishi. etc.

If you are looking at the bidders for oil sands nowadays, the US companies are almost all priced out, while the asian companies jsut pay whatever they need to pay to get it. The other players are all european. Its not going cheap.

Looking around in AB, I actually see a lot of Tech investment, I am glad for that. because I believe Canada as a whole needs to move away from digging holes in the ground and start working with producing things. I personally have more startup tech in my portfolio than I otherwise would because I am trying to support it. I put my money where my mouth is.

That it must be nice to be able to whine about what will be the lowest tuition in the country, even after it has been raised, on the backs of Ontario tax payers.

Low fees tends to give you students studying what they like rather than studying what they think will provide them with the most cash after graduating. I'd rather have the former than the latter. I've met enough disinterested and aloof young medics to know there's more than a few just in it for the cash that have zero bedside manner etc.
 
As its said student that benefits most from said education, his parents should a) be saving for his post secondary education as part of being good parents and deciding to have children entails said committment combined with b) said student should work to save any delta himself that remains. Period. You want something, save for it and engage with your family to help where possible.

Everything else is entitlement kids just asking other people (aka taxpayers) to pay their stuff for them.

p.s. If taxes in Canada weren't so fricken high, maybee your parents could save more while your growing up for your post secondary; but its far easier to just vote 'liberal' and loot other peoples tax dollars than use forethought or sweat isn't it?
 
Quebec's average tuition is $2415? Is that for 2 semesters? Because man back in late 90's I was paying more than that just for 1 semester.
