Quebec's tuition a double-edged sword

Konrad Yakabuski in the Quebec Report of the Globe's Report on Business, looks at Quebec's low tuition as being a double-edged sword, for McGill in particular: "...McGill isn't just an oasis for Oscar Wilde wannabes or phenomenologists who go gaga over Merleau-Ponty. It's an economic powerhouse - probably worth as much to Montreal as the head office of a couple of dozen Alcans. McGill, however, is in Quebec. It's stuck, therefore, with the lowest tuition fees in Canada. And it must grapple with the constant tension that arises from its presence as an English-language institution in a province that made a mission four decades ago of ensuring that the francophone majority became as well educated as the anglo minority."
