Or put another way, Canadian citizens have a portion of their university fees subsidized by the various levels of government that those same citizens (and their familes) pay taxes to.

Foreign students (and their families) have not contributed to that tax base, therefore aren't eligible to benefit from it and have to pay the full cost themselves.
