They're not always interested in the litter box over anything else... My cats have been known to piddle in the house, and even prefer to use the bathtub rather than her clean litter box.
Well... someone either went to UofT or got rejected from U Waterloo's CS program...
While it is true that there are some profs there who care about undergrads about as much as they do toe fungus (Mr. Buss, I'm looking at you), there are a legion of CS profs who are great for undergrads: Atlee, Becker, Vasiga, Pretti, Mann, Steve MacDonald, I could go on. Enrolling at St. Jeromes is also a great way to get a leg up as an undergrad in Math or CS there.
To answer a few of your other assertions, tuition may be a shave higher in CS at Waterloo than other CS programs in Ontario, but nowhere close to double. Also if you've got the HS marks to get into their fantastic co-op program, it more than makes up for that fact. It's a program where you alternate terms between school and working (at a paying, relevant job) to help pay it off. Without any help from the folks or working a part-time job during terms I graduated debt free with 2 years of relevant work experience under my belt.
I lean left politically, and I frequently argue over design and implementation details with my boss and colleagues.
As for the machine stuff... well, I'm just trying hard not to laugh.
In any case, I know of a plethora of companies, both American and Canadian, that would disagree strongly with your assertion that U Waterloo's CS program is sub-par.

You mean like wasting tax-payer's dollars on things like this?

I'd say you're pretty optimistic... there's no way we'll know who's 'elected' until december at the earliest.
I'd bet against Pearl Jam -- they still have vinyl releases of their albums ;)
