Part of the reason they're reliant on that is because of Ford's government. They put a freeze on tuition five years ago. In theory, that's good for local students. However, the costs of operating the schools have gone up. Colleges helped make up the shortfall by increasing the number of international students. This effectively subsidized their domestic classmates.

 

“Not only has (Premier Doug) Ford walked away from post-secondary education, he’s shifted the responsibility of financing our colleges, a public good, onto students and institutions,” JP Hornick, president of OPSEU and faculty at George Brown College, said in a prepared statement.

It's true that some of the $200 cheques haven't cleared for people, but RBC has admitted it was an issue with them. I'm no Ford fan, but keeping things that aren't actually his government's fault out of videos like this would help the cause more.

Never heard of it before, but used to use Virtualbox quite a bit. What makes this much better?

Ford doesn't care about the working class, he is just good at tricking people into thinking he does
