So one thing that is not sufficiently understood about Canada's PSE system is how different Ontario is from everyone else when it comes to funding. Here's ON v. Rest of Canada, revenues as a percentage of GDP: they are basically mirror images, one publicly-funded, the other not. 
Here's what Ontario and the rest of Canada look like compared to other countries. Ontario's funding is basically indistinguishable from America's and Chile's and quite similar to Japan, Korea and UK. The ROC looks a lot more European, like Sweden in fact.
This gets even crazier if you break provinces out individually. Every province has public funding above OECD average. QC, PE, NL and NS all have public funding levels as high as any country in OECD *and* have a bunch of private funding on top.
Anyways, worth thinking about: in terms of funding, Canadian PSE is actually an America (Ontario), with an ultra-Europe (Rest of Canada) tacked on.
