The scale of this fraud against the people of Ontario is mind-boggling.

Seven private career colleges, fake schools filled with thousands of foreign "students," received the same amount of OSAP funding through grant payments as all public colleges in Ontario combined.

Real Ontario students, young Canadians, who are supposed to receive financial support to learn and study at legitimate colleges and universities, were undercut by a fraud scheme that redirected hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars back into these fake schools.

It's enough to make you sick.

I look forward to seeing what the police can uncover.

It's important to learn math not because you may need to do long division as an adult, but because it promotes rigorous thinking. IMO, history and causal inference are among the most important subjects a young person can study — math being central to the second.

A significant problem in public discourse right now is people's inability to critically evaluate causal claims (e.g., vaccines cause autism, deporting immigrants will solve the housing crisis, etc.). The less able people are to critically evaluate causal claims, the worse our democracy functions because people can be preyed upon for votes. You should promote anything that improves rigorous thinking, even if it doesn't have market value. In fact, we should stop thinking of education only in the context of what improves the economy.

IMO, this is distinct from knowing your own address (which Huang can avoid because he's wealthy). Memorizing facts like this may or may not be important, but it's distinct from rigorous thinking.

Trump is getting stupider and more malicious. Canada and the world are caught in a vortex of idiocy.

While we decouple from the Yankees, the dynamic will get worse, but undoing American hegemony is necessary.

I explore the stupid in @guardianopinion.

It’s not about “wanting” atheism to be true.

We base our beliefs on evidence, not on what we wish were true.
