on the other hand, the real schools that will survive this should be taking the down time as an opportunity to build student housing, to prevent low income canadian citizens from being forced to compete for rental housing with temporary residents.
if you need to import students to prevent your third rate school from going bankrupt, house them on your campus, and don't force rent inflation on canadian citizens. that's not a valid economic model.
further, third rate students from third world countries are not an acceptable source of cheap labour for small businesses. these small businesses need to follow proper labour practices and hire canadians at legal wages. if these small businesses can't pay legal wages, they should close.
small businesses are bad for labour rights because they're not unionized. we should be slowly getting rid of small businesses in favour of conglomerates with unionized workforces, not propping them up by importing slaves for them to exploit. if your business model needs slaves to be profitable, your business shouldn't exist.
