Our education system is being intentionally and systematically underfunded to create a crisis. It's working. Please keep this story in mind when you hear Paul Calandra and Doug Ford talk about their govt's "historic investments in education." Voting has consequences. So does not voting. #OntEd

She was an immigrant from Soviet Russia who never really understood this society. A fascinating but rather sad life. She preached individualism but ended up starting a cult that pushed people out for not agreeing with her opinions. And she lived on government assistance after pushing friends away.

A couple of weeks ago, I had reason to google “How many moths did the child in The Hockey Sweater pray for?” and autocorrect and AI got together to give me a completely wrong response: “The child in The Hockey Sweater did not pray for a duration of months(!)”
A Google search result reading: These are the results for how many months did the child in The Hockey Sweater pray for? (“months” is in italics) with the AI overview reading: In The Hockey Sweater by Roch Carrier, the child did not pray for a duration of months; instead, he prayed for moths (the insects)! “Did not pray for a duration of months” is highlighted!

AI continues, “Specifically, after being sent to the church by the curate, he asked God to send a hundred million moths right away to eat up his hated Toronto Maple Leafs sweater so he would never have to wear it again.” (Which DOES answer the original question, “How many moths did the child in The Hockey Sweater pray for?)

Put another way, Ford wants to spend more on removing bike lanes in Toronto ($48M) than he's spent protecting all of Ontario's businesses from an international trade war. Ontario deserves serious leadership, that follows through on promises, and actually puts people before profits.
