The issue is how to rejigger the universities' income streams so that they can keep themselves afloat without that. We can start by looking into why some seem to be having more trouble than others.

Or put another way, Canadian citizens have a portion of their university fees subsidized by the various levels of government that those same citizens (and their familes) pay taxes to.

Foreign students (and their families) have not contributed to that tax base, therefore aren't eligible to benefit from it and have to pay the full cost themselves.

True and that’s the same for universities in other countries.
