    The total fees for out of province students will still be lower than for out of province students in other provinces.

    The fees for international students will still be lower than the fees for international students in other provinces.

    In the only province where French is the only official language, French universities received less financing than English universities no matter the source, including from the provincial government. Donating to one’s Alma Mater isn’t part of the French Canadian culture for a ton of historical reasons, that leads to an university like McGill getting 200m$ from a single ex student and having over a billion sleeping in its coffers while the Université du Québec en Outaouais barely manages to offer basic services to its students.

    Is it such a bad thing that the government asks that foreign students integrate themselves by learning the local language? That’s an incentive for them to stay and it prevents the issue of having some of them stay without being able to speak the language, pretty much forcing them to live in one of three urban areas and their suburbs (Montreal, Gatineau, Sherbrooke).

        See there’s this thing we call “a definition” and that word is appropriate to the situation and if you think “foreigner” is pejorative then you’re the one who’s got an issue…

          Yeah totally, it’s not at all a well-known derogatory term used to other people’s.

          Honestly if this is how French Canadians act, I totally get the reputation. Sounds like a bunch of downright exclusionary shit cunts.

            “Oh no, French Canadians use words in their second language based on their definition, what a bunch of exclusionary shit cunts!”

            You should really go sit down and reflect on the way you just acted.

      French is a dead language, just admit it and move on with your lives already Quebec.

        More and more people speak it on a global scale, you shouldn’t celebrate the disappearance of non English cultures.
