So the Quebec govt is “contributing $620 million of the $870-million price tag” for McGill’s New Vic project, but at the same time, it seeks to scare away out of province students with its planned tuition hikes. In other words, running the province like a business but potentially hampering economic progress due to crippling ideology.
But I’m looking forward to see how this development project progresses.

Should be interesting. I’m interested to see how my old department will be transformed. And I’m glad that it’s open to the public and not turned into an exclusive walled enclave of condos for rich d bags.

The Quebec Govt investing in the old Royal Vic space now does not mean it will be an anglophone university benefitting from the investment somewhere down the line if tuition fee inequities put that university and its infrastructure up for sale eventually.

I like how this is turning out. Not sure that the report is accurate (McGill probably doesn’t need a huge new addition to its campus to house its sustainability and policy offerings), but whatever. As someone who argued that the old Vic should’ve been demolished and replaced by trees, I’m pleased with this second-best option.
