Doing some basic math on tuition in Ontario for this week's course on the history of the university. While not surprising, it's still worth noting that domestic tuition has increased by a factor of 10 over the past 50 years and international tuition by a factor of 80.

The Halton Region in Ontario has historically been slow to improve the safety of our roads -- leading to dozens of avoidable deaths, and thousands of injuries. Vision Zero policies can help fix this.

This is Doug Ford’s moment of truth… do you side with the fascist to protect auto manufacturers that have abandoned us already or, are you on Team Canada for good and looking to the future where we do business with all?
I think he knows you don’t bend down to a bully… he’ll do the right thing.

Doug Ford muses about another multi-billion dollar project that no one asked for. He suggested filling in part of Lake Ontario to build a brand new $2B convention centre near his mega-spa, formerly Ontario Place. I'm not sure if he's desperate to drive as much foot traffic as possible to the spa which is pretty much guaranteed to lose money. That's why the condemned Science Centre, with the very unsafe roof that didn't collapse after record snowfall this winter, is being moved to the mega-spa location. School buses can soon drop off kids at the new Science Centre, and the bus driver and teachers can get a facial.
There is a potential upside to this latest Ford fever dream. Lake Ontario is one of the deepest of the Great Lakes, meaning a lot of fill will be needed. But there's a proposal for a tunnel under Highway 401 and all that dirt has to go somewhere.
