The federal and provincial governments have been underfunding universities for decades. Recently, universities were able to start recruiting foreign students to make up for the shortfall, but it looks like that money tap will be turned down. It doesn’t look like there’s a plan to make up for it.
At the same time, the feds want to
recruit more than 1,000 top international researchers to Canada, with the budget injecting up to $1.7-billion into a suite of recruitment measures.
That’ll be tough if universities see their income crater.
Both for this and for healthcare.
The nurses are struggling to get a fair deal while somehow the billions a year put into healthcare goes where exactly?
Not to the front line staff, I’ll tell you that much.
And I get it, materials and equipment isn’t cheap but between nurses salaries and material costs, and the occasional multi-million dollar piece of equipment… I just don’t see where it’s all being spent. Between the middle and upper management, there needs to be an overhaul.
Education on every level isn’t dissimilar.
Hell, most government services need a review, at the very least.
Health care money is very notoriously being withheld from hospitals, and gets redirected to private clinics at several times the cost to taxpayers. This is not the situation in education. We don’t have a massive pay-to-play tier of Universities. They’re all non-profit.
Okay, right after you explain why Real Estate agents are millionaires.
I’m with you on that, the job should not exist anymore
