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].
