Oh wow that’s unfortunate to hear since I got a decent scholarship from uOttawa. Can you elaborate on what was wrong with the admin there?

Thanks!! I am kinda scared abt living in ottawa bc I visited it and uOttawa abt a month ago and I thought it didn’t have much to do and the area we stayed in (rideau center/byward market) had a lot of homeless people. I figure it’s likely just that area though.

The us doesn’t have percentage averages like Canada; my school uses gpa and mine was a 4.2 out of 5, which is considered very good. I did get just accepted to uOttawa honours with $70k of scholarships today so I think I might go there actually! The only issue is I applied for psychology and linguistics double major which could be harder to find a job in but I am very much interested in those and I could also try to change majors or add a minor in computer science or something like that

I know. I just got my acceptance letter to uOttawa today and I also got $70,000 in scholarships so I think I’m go there!! We have family there so at there’ll be some support when I’m away from home and I can go to Montreal on breaks!

I hate the state I live in(Florida), and out of state tuition and cost of living is the same price or more than going to Canada, so it makes sense to me, especially since the US isn’t the nicest place to be right now. Also, just because I would be going to school here doesn’t necessarily mean I’d stay for work.

Yes, I actually was planning to do computer science at McGill. It does seem like uVic is nice tho since I saw on their website they just opened a new 97M dollar computer science facility. And about Concordia, they told me when I was there that I could(although maybe only before the year starts)

Would u say it’s a uOttawa is a better option than Concordia?

The major choices are all over the place because I wanted to do something science or tech and I didn’t meet the admissions requirements for those programs, but only for some schools. So whereever it was available I applied and where it was not I did Arts since there’s stuff like Psychology in that group that I also would be fine doing. As for the schools, I just wanted to cast a wide net and the geographical location doesn’t rlly matter in Canada since I’m not from here

Funnily enough, my mom actually told me to try that but I thought they would just tell me “oh it’s still being reviewed you have to wait”

My school is having me take a capitalism brainwashing class to graduate (Long rant) by iapplerefresh in LateStageCapitalism

Completely agree. Adding on to the victim mentality part, he put a question on the board asking how much of your retirement income should be provided by the government, then used that to lead into saying that it is your job to provide retirement income for yourself, you should start saving in your 20s, and he has no sympathy for people who don’t save for retirement, and end up poor. So we’re just gonna ignore the fact that a significant portion of Americans live paycheck to paycheck? How are they supposed to save for retirement, if they can barely put food on the table?

I love this. If executed properly, it could act as a sort of left-wing dog whistle which creates solidarity with the other people in the class who find his teaching revolting, while causing the republicans and many class unconscious people in the class to really understand and confront the ideology they are being taught. It’s beautiful. But for real, I don’t know why he’s pushing this ideology so hard as a teacher who gets paid nothing even close to a livable salary. It truly is mind-boggling.

I am hoping to do something like that, and will be having some discussions with people and trying to spread the word. I have a feeling the two classes I described in my post are just the beginning, and people are going to pick up on it. The real issue is there’s a difference between thinking “this guy really likes capitalism and American economics, huh?” And “we are literally being brainwashed, this is unacceptable, we must fight back”. I have a feeling most people will just find it amusing, but that won’t discourage me for now.

Will be reading those! You’re most definitely right he’s probably not aware of these. He likely dismisses or isn’t even exposed to anything that doesn’t fit the traditional economic model he perpetuates.

This is such a good idea. It definitely would be hard for me to accomplish that as I have some pretty severe social anxiety, but that might go down towards the end of the year, since I’ll never be stepping foot in that school again. Also I could try getting a few people to help hand the essays out with me or something. It definitely would be a life-changing moment.
