23 cents per student per day for mental health, and the government’s solution is “centralization.” How about funding support instead? Our kids deserve more than talking points.

When Hitler declared war on the universities there was an exodus of researchers.
The American "century" benefited from the influx of great thinkers.
Trump's war on American universities is the end of that century.
Canada's century has begun.

Last thing I want in Niagara Falls is more casinos, or Fords ghastly Vegas North plan.

Just get us regular, good GO *train* service to Niagara Falls/St. Catharines.

We also don’t need a bigger airport. Better transit to Hamilton airport or more direct from Burlington to Pearson.
