Grouping doesn't make sense[edit]

Education in Canada is regulated by the provinces. It makes legal sense to group universities by province. Having them grouped in a geographical region makes no sense whatsoever, it seems completely arbitrary (or horribly inconsiderate). Grouping enough material to produce a featured list is a petty argument, really. --Qyd (talk) 05:30, 25 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

How did this get FA?[edit]

There is no source that explains why some colleges are listed as "universities" in the Alberta section. There is a legal difference between them. As of Feb. '09 there is a bill before the legislature to blur that difference but for the time being the difference is important. See Intercamp, "MacEwan and MRC could add University to name". --Kevlar (talkcontribs) 21:05, 27 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
