So many of our issues are related, but unfortunately our media rarely connect the dots.  

A higher level of foreign students is at least partially the cause of high housing prices in Toronto and Vancouver.  Families in Asian countries often purchase housing for their kids to attend University in Canada, knowing full well that when their kids graduate their path to residency is assured.

Secondly, a high proportion of foreign students have very poor english language skills.  That means that standards in Universities have to be lowered to graduate these kids, which means Canadian kids correspondingly also graduate with the same poor level of english proficiency because standards are so low.

Thirdly, there is little doubt that foreign students are displacing Canadian kids, particulalry in professional programs.  Anybody that believes otherwise is a fool.  

The sellout of Canada by our leaders continues...do you  ever hear a politician engage in any meaningful debate about these issues?
