What was missing from the story was all the provincial parks Mike Harris closed, dramatically cutting supply of spaces. Never corrected by Cons or Libs when in power.

“By removing writing from reporters’ workloads, we’ve effectively freed up an extra workday for them each week.”

A newspaper editor actually said this! @theonion.com is cooked.

If the province raised per student funding to equal the #9 province, we wouldn't have this crisis. But as #10, we're so far behind everyone.

Adjusted for inflation, today's post-secondary funding announcement leaves colleges and universities with $1.5 billion *less* funding than in 2018. Still the lowest per-capita funding in Canada. #onpoli #PSE

“I went around the corner to see if spring was there.”

“Did you find it?” asked Toad.

“No,” said Frog. “There was only an old worm asleep on a tree stump.”
