Also, as is so often the case, a very concerning situation.
I fear that the idea that Canada could develop this sort of information to be, well, utopian. A country that cannot even keep track of who is trying to influence actual official government policy is highly unlikely to be interested in who is paying tuition or other payments, let alone why they might be doing so. As the folks at The Line keep telling us, Canada is an unserious country.
Anyone out there is more than welcome to dig in. They'd probably need to apply some serious blackmail to get someone inside a major university to release any useful data, though.
As always, Sir, very well done!

Wow David. It’s disturbing and embarrassing that Canada doesn’t keep data on this.
I think you should send this column to mainstream media outlet and investigative reporter in Canada and challenge them to see what they can find out.

The universities don’t say nothing to nobody.
