Nothing says "mercenary diploma mill" like "largest number of international students".

Yes, I get it - I saw it in the '90s - Canadian collages are ridiculously addicted to the foreign green and firmly on the "admin pork but paltry pay" playbook since before even my time; but basing themselves only against American colleges has really helped them level up the greed so fucking hard.

Catering to the foreign students like this place must have put them in some weird Twilight zone of "we know we're doing what's best for the country because look at how much foreign money were spending on luxury homes!"
