Is anyone surprised? This is just how Doug and the gang do business and see absolutely nothing wrong with it.

No one is two words, Mike. It’s an indefinite pronoun that means nobody.

You’re onto something here. The missing piece is people are forgetting knowledge is transferable and they keep putting all these things into boxes that have to be checked off without looking at the big picture. Kids can grasp concepts.

Teachers are now being expected to teach our children everything under the sun in a very pointed way. Parents are being absolved of all responsibility to teach them anything or to reinforce concepts introduced at school. Take your kids grocery shopping. Tell them how much money there is in the food budget and let them be part of the process. This is the way.

I’m in favour of teaching financial basics but, I think, the last thing these kids need is another test to take to graduate. Way back in the olden days of the 1980s there was a high school course that taught things like budgeting and investing and the power of compound interest. I forget what is was called - Consumer something or other

It isn’t their goal to make things better for most people. Their goal is to make things better for them and their friends

Rae was elected in 1990 so it’s just ridiculous Ontarians hold that kind of grudge! Bob Rae, himself, certainly hasn’t suffered. PET implemented wage and price controls but you don’t see people in Federal elections saying that’s why they aren’t voting Libreral! This Conservative government has the largest cabinet in the province’s history and is spending money like it’s water on the most inane things while the things of import are languishing. There better be a change next election

I don’t understand voter apathy and wonder how to get people out to the next election

I think it’s really weird too since he doesn’t drink alcohol but, I guess, he thinks the people who do will vote for him. I think this is a case of the last person who talks to him gets what they want. The company that makes the bags was lobbying hard.

Good question! But only for mixed coolers. 😝
