Vengeance as a basis for policy is a choice.
@AlexUsherHESA Here for it. Ontario PSEs created a mess for the rest of Canada. The strip mall colleges are the root cause of the out of control International Student stream, ruining it for other provinces. If a bunch of these colleges shut down, so be it.

Liberals to Post-Secondary Education: Drop Dead.
Liberal Leader Bonnie Crombie promised to cap international student enrollment at 10% for each Ontario college and university. In Ontario, colleges rely on international students at a much higher rate than universities. #onpoli

Sooner or later the Tories might have to ask themselves whether it was such a smart idea to elect a sneering edgelord who thinks he can govern in three-word sentences instead of someone, you know, competent and relatable.

I would like a thing to happen. But I have always hated and continue to hate trade-offs. As an elected official, I resent being faced with the consequences of my inaction.
We need to properly maintain the TTC. But people still need to be able to get around Toronto. A 54% increase in full weekend subway shutdowns seems excessive, and will just add to the daily frustration so many of us face when we take transit.

1) I don't see anything in this article saying these "no shows" are actually in the country (they might be but not obvious from the way it's writren) .2) Even if they are, it would imply a no-show rate of about 7%, not the 19% figure I criticized the Globe for touting last year.
I am reminded of the folks who refused to believe that the growing discrepancy between enrolments and study visas issued in the college sector reflected "no shows.".👉 @AlexUsherHESA 1/2
