@brianlilley Former Ontario scientist here (not Conestoga). Watched the international student circus up close with course-based Master’s cohorts. The whole Conestoga scandal is just the most shameless symptom of a rotten system. Insider view, no sugarcoating. 1/8
@brianlilley Canada’s “investment” in education has been pathetic for 30+ years — flatlined while countries like China poured money in. NSERC PhD scholarships? Still basically $40K today after decades. Real value gutted by inflation. Brilliant long-term planning.
