My point is that there should be no such thing as "in province" and "out of province" fees. We are all one country. Differential fees helps to promote provincialism and parochialism, things that are far too common in Canada as is. Out of province students can actually be good for the economy. They spend money. I'm sure the merchants and landlords in the communities hosting these universities appreciate this.
It was not like this when I went to university in the 70s and 80s.
In any event, I have decided to take another prolonged break from this thread. It is bad for my mental health. I believe in a strong, united and indivisible Canada from sea to sea to sea. My Canada would be destined to be a true player in the world. Some people on this thread obviously do not believe in this vision, and their world view is governed entirely by linguistic politics and nothing else. You cannot debate these people. They have no interest in other people's visions or concerns.
Acajack & lio45 are at least interested in debate, but others are more shit disturbers. New Brisavoine is an agent provacateur pure and simple, and, sometimes he is able to appeal to Acajack's baser instincts, which is sad. He also brings out the worst in me.
Anyway, I feel further attempted debate is futile, and potentially inflammatory. There is no sense continuing. I will spend my time more productively elsewhere.
Adios amigos...........
