TEACHING MOMENT
Re “Smarten up this summer” (Anthony Furey, July 8): Canada is on the cusp of succumbing to liberal woke ideology or realizing our potential as a great nation. According to the World Population Review, our 2022 PISA (Program for International Student Assessment) scores rank behind six Asian countries and Estonia in math, science and reading (except Hong Kong). Since then, in Ontario, which scores just above the Canadian average, we have endured school board decisions such as the suspension of a student who simply stated there are only two sexes and a balloon-breasted male shop teacher who never got fired. Our future will be determined by our children and our education system. Bravo, Premier Doug Ford and Education Minister Paul Calandra.

SNOW JOB
Even though I am not a resident of Toronto, I am very impressed with Olivia Chow. She was so smart to go to Ireland and England under the guise of using taxpayers’ money to increase movies/films in Toronto, while her real agenda was to ask them how to remove snow from sidewalks and roads and to save lifeguards in hot weather.

SLICK MOVE
Alberta is getting off the merry-go-round of insanity! Canada gladly takes our money from our oil Industry and then tries to make us feel guilty for producing oil. Well, in the 2026 referendum, we will say “goodbye” to Canada’s schizophrenic behaviour as we happily vote for Alberta independence. We will keep our annual billions of dollars in equalization, but we may leave a small donation when we leave for Canada to get some psychiatric help.
