There is no such things as a Canadian Education system. It simply does not exist, and this is why there is no Ministry of Education in Ottawa. Each province has its own programmes and ministry.
In Québec, we have the lowest in all of North America.

Take for example .bishops University.
For a quebec resident, the tuition fee per credit course runs at 56.00$ approx. For all other Canadian residents, they charge 139.00$
However.. you can travel across the border to Ontario and pay the same tuition fee Ontarians pay.
Much like the trades industry.. Ottawa is chock full of Quebecers taking advantage of the adequate need for labour, and make a happy living working in Ontario.. but god halp the Ontario tradesman who attempts to cross the river to seek employment.

Building walls is usually not a great idea unless you can be totally self sufficient.
Vive le Québec! :P Its our home, we deserve a good education... Though Bishop isnt a first choice. I personnaly did my Political Science Major at McGill (Bleh.. wanted to see an english point of view)... And law...

As a French AND English Quebecker (sorry for spoiling your dream of the Duceppe era there), I have had the opportunity to being educated in both languages. What I noticed here is that the French in French schools is wonderful, as is the French in English schools. The biggest problem is the massively lacking quality of the English programs in French schools. I mean, it's really pathetic. People are graduating high school English courses and can barely, and I mean barely, comprehend the basics of the language. I skipped from grade 8 to grade 11 English and was still vastly better than any of the other French students. And that's not because I'm smarter, to be sure.

We keep promotting our educational freeze but our taxes are also significantly higher (a person of average income paying about 1200-2500$ more per year). There is your education budget right there. Our roads are poorer than anywhere in North America (there are surveys and studies to support this). Hey but at least our kids are bilingual right? Wrong. Anglophones in Quebec are bilingual; francophones are really far behind.
Moving on to the public school system, it's kind of a joke in Canada but even more so here. The Administration often have only basic concepts of business management, which leads to poor spending practices. We have adopted the law of "no kid can skip a grade more than once" as though that is somehow going to improve the quality of education... We have much larger class...
