This week on Inside the Village, we dedicate another episode to a controversial subject that continues to generate plenty of headlines: international students. The federal government is determined to slash the number of student visas handed out every year — including by up to 50 per cent in Ontario. But for many cash-strapped colleges, the cap itself isn’t the worst news. Here to explain the devil in the details is David Orazietti, the president of Sault College — and a former Ontario cabinet minister under Kathleen Wynne. Spoiler alert: Orazietti is digging in for a long fight with the feds. Also on the podcast: Welcome FlamboroughToday! Village Media’s latest local news launch was a huge success (with no unforeseen circumcisions).
