Here we read, "In an effort to revitalize its long-neglected downtown core, the Ontario city has partnered with an international business group specializing in higher education." I just want to take this moment to warn that any private enterprise, including a private university, will be looking only for cheap land and subsidies, not to revitalize a downtown economy. It would be an error to expect anything different.
