From the other thread:
Starting on Sept. 1, Immigration Minister Marc Miller announced Monday, the federal government will stop issuing postgraduate work permits to international students who graduate from programs provided under so-called Public College-Private Partnerships.

An insightful video on the subject (by CBC): https://youtu.be/eP02h50KIOA?si=H71z_8mAsl-I_Vbo
- Also this one is quite recent, worth a watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hQkzE9PsAv4

Nice. Finally some action. But I bet the provinces would still complain and continue to under fund education.
We need more immigration. At least funneling them through education means they at least have to try to be semi knowledgeable at something.
All this does is put the blame on the wrong place. The problem is people buying homes as investments and not living in them. Put a tax on vacancy and on owning homes without living in them and see how much of a housing crisis we have after that.
Weird how the Cons are the only pro immigration party now
- The (Ontario) cons are pro-getting international students paying exorbitant tuition fees to fund public colleges, allowing them to reduce public education funding without repercussions.
  
  Poilievre just promises to bring in more Indians (People from India)
  I can’t find the comment but he said something about removing barriers from Indians getting Canadian citizenship
Why do you guys say "per cent" instead of "percent"? Isn't "per cent" per 1000? If so, then this reduction is almost nothing, only 3.5%.
- Isn’t “per cent” per 1000?
  What? "per cent" is literally "per 100"?
  Some writing styles even favour per cent written separately, it works the same.
  
  Oh, I thought cent was 1000. I'm thinking of M, like CPM. I guess it should have been obvious, given that a hundred years is a century. Thanks for answering my question instead of just downvoting it like people do on this website.
- As said by other users, percent is the same as per cent. per 1000 is per mille as in per one thousand(mille) see: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Per_mille
What's the % they reduced rhemselves? From what I'm hearing there's already been a massive drop due to the word getting out you'll probably end up homeless and starve.
