It was Conestoga College.
Thank you for the correction, I was trying to remember but I knew it was one of the colleges in the boonies.

This whole bubble is going to burst and become quite a scandal.Usually affiliated with or operated by private career colleges, and often very far from the public college’s main campus. Sault College’s satellite “campus” is on Queen Street, Brampton, adjacent to Trios. Why are they in Brampton? Because it’s a lot easier to recruit international students.

I suspect the latter!It also makes me a little suspicious of Algoma University’s presence in Downtown Brampton. It’s a tiny Northern Ontario university to begin with; why are they in Brampton? Universities at least aren’t partnering with private career colleges, but there can’t be a lot of student life or university experiences when the campus mostly is just a few leased floors in a small office building.
Are they filling a real need in Brampton for post secondary education in a young city of 700,000? Or just cashing in on international students?
It's been going on for years, certainly pre-dating the current government. Lakehead has a campus in Orillia, I believe Laurentian had one in Barrie and Nipissing I think had one in Bracebridge.It also makes me a little suspicious of Algoma University’s presence in Downtown Brampton.

Kitchener is the boonies?Thank you for the correction, I was trying to remember but I knew it was one of the colleges in the boonies.

I haven't noticed a rush of detached campuses but you could be right. If I recall, both Laurentian and Nipissing closed their campuses on their own.Yes, though the Wynne government put a moratorium on it when it was found it was likely diminishing the reputation of our schools and providing an unequal level of education. Guess who reversed that?
In any normal democracy there would be multiple resignations plus maybe prosecutions and a total roll-back, here ??????
That's the standard populist playbook now - deny guilt, double down, gaslight and play the victim.Indeed.
Under normal circumstances, one would expect Ford to resign over this or at least take responsibility. However, in true Ford style I expect Doug to deny and call it a witch hunt.
