Premier Doug Ford's Ontario

I'd have to ask, but from what I recall, he is very inexperienced, has social conservative views, and perhaps unearned conviction of his opinions.

At the time of his election, he (Sam Oosterhoff{born August 22, 1997]) was in the middle of his first year studying political science at Brock University, which he entered after being homeschooled. After his election, he planned to resume his studies in January 2017 with night classes and summer school.

Is Sam Oosterhoff still enrolled at Brock University (on-line very likely)?

He was lucky to win due to the extreme partisan lean of his riding.

Much of his riding makes up the eastern part of the southwestern Ontario Bible Belt, which stretches along the Highway 3 corridor between Wainfleet and Elgin County. It is full of conservative and evangelical churches. It includes Aylmer, home of a notorious anti-masker religious figure, while Haldimand-Norfolk and southern Oxford County have some of the lowest childhood vaccination rates in the province.
 
Good column in the Globe about Laurentian's situation.

An assertion is made that while it has made some poor choices of its own; the general starvation of University budgets in Ontario (forcing reliance on foreign students) may be at the heart of the problem.

Opinion: Laurentian University becomes a victim of a failing business model

The Sudbury, Ont., school has filed for court protection from its creditors – an unprecedented decision brought about by long-standing financial forces and a recent government squeeze

I recently go this 'reminder' from the Ontario Liberals Subject: Proud and Prejudiced!

Last week, the Proud Boys were designated as a terrorist organization in Canada after storming the US Capitol building in January. This means any involvement with the Proud Boys could have serious criminal and financial consequences.

You might be wondering why we, a provincial political party, are talking about a decision made by the federal government about a group involved in an event in the United States. We're talking about this because Ontario has been impacted by the efforts of this group before.

In 2018, the Proud Boys told their supporters to support Doug Ford's leadership bid and when he became Premier, they named Doug Ford "Proud Boy of the Month" and hoped he would "Make Ontario Great Again".

Doug Ford may not support the Proud Boys, but they certainly support him. We must stand up to the politicians these groups support and overwhelmingly vote them out of office. If you agree that the influence of the Proud Boys has no place in Ontario politics, add your name today.

I received a similarly worded e-mail from the Ontario NDP. They also condemn the Proud Boys and their endorsement of Doug Ford.
 
:rolleyes:

This is offensively dismissive of people's intelligence.

Then again, I suppose most people aren't intelligent enough to find it offensive.

Carry on.
 
My community Facebook group is full of complaints about the March break decision. I can’t image the uproar if it were cancelled altogether
