The exploitation of international students for financial gain is an open secret in some parts of the world, and while many choose to look away, Earl Blaney has been calling out the darker side of the edu-immigration industry. He's a controversial figure, a whistleblower, a conspiracy theorist - and for a long time he has been a solitary voice questioning the system in Canada. Not any more. A whole nation is now listening as the government announces tougher controls to protect overseas students.
Earl joins the TFTDL flight crew to talk about his passion for dogs, chess and boxing. He is less enthusiastic about aggregators, Indian whiskey and cease and desist letters.
It's time to take the red pill if you want to face an uncomfortable reality. Take the blue pill (and stop listening now) if you want to live in blissful ignorance. Pack light and land well.
