The university system in the US (and apparently Canada) is socialism for the rich.

This guy is getting screwed, and the Canadian taxpayers are getting screwed, so that employers do not have to pay for their employees to go to college or get other training (or factor it into their salaries to cover student loan debt if they already have a degree).

I hope this guy shrugs and gets a better job.

While employers paying for training may work in economies were there is a high level of worker loyalty, in Canada and the States, people change jobs frequently. Thus, the employer wouldn't get to keep the benefit of the training often, because the employee would leave to work for a employer who pays high wages because it didn't pay for the training.
