It's just you. :-) No really, Commodore Canada and Commodore USA are
two different companies that both report to Irving Gould. Commodore USA
needs to boost its sales in its country because they are lagging everyone
else, so they have come up with a plan to get more machines into student's
hands. Commodore Canada on the other hand probably feels they are already
selling plenty of Amigas (I know the World of Commodore shows are much
more exciting up there) and so don't need to start a University program.

You might just as well ask yourself is it fair that Utah's clocks are
set an hour later than Nevada clocks. If you lived 1 mile from Utah (or
even had a house that straddled the state line) you could get jet lag
going from the bedroom to the kitchen. Fair usually doesn't come into
the picture when you are discussing boundary conditions.

These opinions are my own and no one elses, but you knew that didn't you.
