When they write "college" in the image I think they mean university, not CEGEP. University is still a good ways from free, being $4k-$5k/yr. And that's just for in province students, it's more for non-Quebec but still Canadian students.
In Germany (and maybe the other listed countries but I'm less informed on them), university is free as well. I think it also doesn't depend which state you're from.
University is absolutely not free in Germany. I pay over 400€ per semester. And this doesn't depend on the state. Every university has a different fee, but none of them are free (although still way cheaper than in the US)
Indeed University is way more expensive. 5k/yr is nothing like US but definitely not free. It actually took me 10+ years to pay back my student loan...
