Therefore: there is NO commitment in Canada.
And, no propaganda will change that.
If you mean Academic Initiative members, I'm confused by your post.
The efforts of Parti Quebecois notwithstanding, Quebec was still a
Canadian province when last I checked. There are two universities
listed in Quebec at:
http://www-03.ibm.com/systems/z/education/academic/schools_na.html#quebec in
addition to the one in Ontario (and in addition to the eight colleges
you discount).
Also, the people at Ryerson (which I see has been gaining accreditation
for their programs) might dispute characterization of their institution
as a "pseudo-University," if that's who you meant. In fact, to be a
full participant in the Academic Initiative, the institution must be
accredited.
It so happens that the Academic Initiative team is in the process of
updating the list, so there will probably be additions and subtractions
some time relatively soon.
Finally, the commitment has to come from the institution itself. As I
understand it, within the bounds of the program, it's open to any of
them. So IBM's commitment is the same in Canada as it is in the USA or
elsewhere.
