Would you mind clarifying what you mean by this?
Based on what are you making this claim? The Canadian Government and the provincial governments provide loans and financial support to students, which should be able to cover all expenses for an average post secondary institution [source] [source]. Furthermore, the Canadian government provides extra support for Indigenous Peoples [source].
You don't get it do you. When I was college age, I could pay for my entire education with $15k. Which I thought was a lot. My child will have to take out loans for like x10 that amount and it will destroy her future before it even begins.
It depends on where one goes β not all post secondary institutions charge the same amounts. Generally, the fancier/more reputable schools will charge the most. It is quite possible to complete undergrad in Canada for <30k CAD (not including living and transportation expenses). Also, keep in mind that inflation is innevitable β the Government of Canada targets an inflation rate of 2% per year [source].
