Canada's post-secondary schools exploiting
international students, says recruiter
Mel Broitman recruited international students for the University of Windsor for 15 years
International students
come to Canadian colleges
and universities with high
hopes. Many choose Canada
because of the quality of
the education system, but
pay much higher tuition
fees compared to their domestic
peers.
Mel Broitman, owner
of the Higher-Edge international
student recruiting
company, worked with
the University of Windsor
from 1999 to 2014. His company
also recruited international
students to colleges
in Ontario and Alberta.
"The reality is St. Clair
College is no different from
... all these other places.
They really don't care. They
just want these people paying
to come [to Canada]," he
said.
The 3,087 international
students enrolled in St.
Clair College's summer semester
make up 80 per cent
of the total student population.

The provincial plan
The Ministry of Education
estimates international
enrolments will account
for 20 per cent of all postsecondary
enrolments in
the province by 2022.
In fact, the University
of Windsor is projected to
hit that number very soon.
International students are
expected to make up 22 per
cent of the entire student
body in the fall.
The province lists out
a number of objectives
behind the "internationalization"
of post-secondary
institutions, including the
development of "global citizens"
who contribute to Ontario's
economy.
RM Kennedy, Centennial
College professor and
Ontario Public Service
Employees Union (OPSEU)
chair, said the influx of international
students in Ontario's
colleges and universities
is a result of "funding
shortfalls."
"They key is that we are
having a gap between the
increased enrolment and
the number of services that
are put in place to support
those students so they can
be successful in the environment."
He said there is a patchwork
of services across different
colleges which are
not sufficient to support
international students.
Doug Ford To Take Over As Ontario Premier
Continued page 01
Ford's transition team, which
will help him segue into power over
21 days, includes former Conservative
MP John Baird, a past chief of
staff in former prime minister Stephen
Harper's government, and an
executive at the Ford family business.
"We have already hit the ground
running," Ford said. "We have begun
work right away on setting up
the premier's office, establishing a
cabinet and implementing the machinery
of a new government."
The premier-designate said Friday
that he planned to live up to his
promises, including to repeal the
Liberals' updated sex-ed curriculum.
"What we say we're going to do,
we're going to do. We aren't going to
flip-flop," he said. "We want to make
sure over the next four years that
our mandate gets fulfilled based on
the people voting us in."
Mayor Jeffrey Congratulates
Brampton’s new MPPs and
Premier-Elect Ford
Continued from page 01
I also want to congratulate Ontario’s new Premierelect,
Doug Ford, on winning a majority government.
I’m excited and look forward to working together with
our new Premier-elect and our local MPPs as we make
a brighter future for Brampton.
Brampton is a strong, inclusive city with smart,
passionate people. As one of Canada’s youngest and
fastest-growing cities we are committed to working
with our new provincial government to build a global
city of the future.”
Mayor Jeffrey plans on meeting with Brampton’s
new MPPs soon and looks forward to building strong,
positive working relationships with each of them.
He declined, however, to discuss
specifics when asked about the
timing of that, as well as when and
how he would scrap the Liberals'
cap-and-trade program, or if he will
introduce back-to-work legislation
to end a months-long strike at York
University in Toronto.
Ford also emphasized ties with
the federal government Friday,
saying he had spoken with Justin
Trudeau and told the prime minister
he stood with him in a trade
dispute with the United States.
Trudeau and U.S. President
Donald Trump have exchanged

tough words after the U.S. imposed
hefty tariffs on steel and aluminum
from Canada, Mexico and Europe.
Canada has countered with a plan
to impose tariffs of its own on U.S.
metals and other consumer goods.
'United' with Trudeau on
Trump tariffs
Ford was asked what he thinks
of how Trump is handling trade issues.
"I talked to the prime minister
yesterday," he said. "I said we'll
stand united against our neighbours
to the south and I'm very
sincere when I say that. United we
stand as a country and I'll work
hand in hand with the prime minister."
Meanwhile, Ford would not say
if he will lower the legislature's
threshold for official party status
to accommodate the Liberals, who
were decimated at the polls. The
bar is currently eight seats.
