FYI, Canadian students get their education directly through loans (OSAP), not through the university. The funding only goes to building facilities and buying computers, etc. And recently, to building a subway line directly into the university.

I don't buy that. I know of quite a lot of universities in Lebanon that are not funded by the government, and they are going well, and they have pretty good educational 'standards', and students get scholarships, and the tuition fees are quite 'bearable' for the locals. If the Canadians somehow don't know how to run their universities efficiently, then I feel sorry for them.

Bullshit. Pure bullshit. I received a space because my grades were much higher than 90% of the Canadian students applying. I received a space because they wamted to milk $16,000 / year in tuition from me.

lmao... So let's see, hmm... Somehow, the education I got was more "valuable" than the education other students (domestic) received from my university? I paid thrice as much tuition exactly for what, from the perspective of the university (even if I were willing to pay it)? What would the university give as an answer to that question? What exactly were the costs to the univ that a non-domestic student registered, that I had to pay thee times the tuition compared to my domestic counterparts? Just wondering. Yes, I paid it willingly, I'm not saying anything about that, or complaining. But just explain to me why the cost is so high.

Expect the world to give me everything on a platter? Me? Haha... Puhleeeez. I worked my ass off to be who I am right now, in many ways, not just educational. You don't know anything about me, so don't assume that I've always gotten what I've wanted, and that it has always been easy for me. Because it hasn't. I've FOUGHT and still FIGHT for my beliefs. Every day. With people like you, with people who are ARMED with insults and hurdles, and sometimes guns. Do I look like I'm someone who expects the world to give them everything on a platter????

Fine. Let's say the system has indeed helped me to "earn" the degree. One could argue, then, along similar lines, that slavery actually "saved" a lot of blacks from malnourishment, starvation, disease, and death in Africa. Does that mean it's right? Well, does it?

My principles might never materialise, but that doesn't mean I won't be fighting for them.

I must add, I don't wish to turn this thread into a political one. There's already the other thread for that.

I have to run....but will continue this tomorrow.....so stay tuned...for further episodes.....

Thanks for using th thread as a political platform You might want to start your own threads or pm each other, rather than the hijack tactics

What seems to be the problem here?

Back to talking about PR. My grandmother used to have one of those shiny cards. She now has a shiny passport.
