Misinterpretation is the fault of the presenter, not the reader.

Speak or write to your audience.

Canada does not have a national minimum wage.

I know that because I live here.

edit to add -- ... and my income last year was less than $15k.

The first link you posted says

"Canada’s policies regarding student loans are similar to those in the US but injected with a small dose of compassion and critical thinking. The federal government provides up to 60 percent of a student’s tuition through the Canadian Student Loan Program (CSLP), while private lenders pick up the rest of the bill. All student loan payments are suspended until a student graduates and earns at least 25,000 CAD annually."

Then do what Canada does.

It's not that hard to find a better way than what America does now.

There are cell towers in those regions vs few/none in northern regions.

That's the difference.

There are actually 24 countries that have free college education.

Why would we have to limit the number of students?

edit to add -- If businesses are paying ALL education costs there's no reasons whatsoever to limit education.

Not really. I've lived in Kelowna and also in remote Ontario regions. The only similarity is that there's lots of trees.

@wintermute_oregon @jpreston2005

Why shouldn't it be free? I mean if businesses are making A LOT of money from the labour of those who've paid extraordinary amounts for their education - and are no where near providing equal compensation for that labour - then businesses should be paying for ALL education.

@magnetosphere @MicroWave

My apologies. I was agreeing with your sarcasm but should have made that more clear.

Sorry you're taking the rap for my lack of clarity.

Me too. When he back pedaled he lost my support.

And PP isn't anywhere near someone I'd vote for either.
