March 2026 In regards to Premier Doug Ford’s plan to reduce the amount of OSAP designated as grants from 85% to 25%, it’s regrettable that for those who are able to secure a spot in a post-secondary institution, many will have to incur more debt to obtain that degree/diploma. Some who do not have any …

February 2026 I really enjoy a good debate, but I’ve found it next to impossible to have a reasonable debate with leftists, as they fail to distinguish between facts and feelings.
