A concerted effort from the universities in Atlantic Canada is a very well-oiled machinery to attract more international students.
The reference I made was that we must attract American immigrants. I wasn't talking precisely about students in that sense. Certainly, we view American students as international students, but they're not immigrants in that sense.
My exhortation is that, given the present conditions in American politics and significant anxiety among certain sectors of the population, we should not be shy to exploit those anxieties and try to see if we can generate more desire among Americans, especially the highly qualified, to move to Atlantic Canada.
