    They should focus on restoring public funding to postsecondary schools, tightening future foreign student quotas and shutting down diploma mills.

    “They” (the Federal government) can’t focus on two of these three since education is the domain of the provinces, and they’ve already tightened student visa numbers.

      In general yes, however just like the feds are starting to work directly with municipalities on housing because provinces are dropping the ball, it’s conceivable that the feds could contribute to postsecondary institutions too. AFAIK the federal government contributes to UofT’s funding for example.
