    One more benefit of online learning is to not have to maintain public infrastructure. Ontario spends $25 billion annually on public education. Basically a guaranteed income sector with no return on investment.

    Public Education in 2020

    Tom Lamb who was given the honorary degree in Doctor of Laws from the University of Manitoba in 1969 had a Grade 3 formal education. Personally feel we are very wrong about the benefits of the public school system other than for those earning from that sector. Little more than a bottomless pit...

    Public Education in 2020

    Snow removal is not as easy as it sounds and something most politicians and many others have never done and are not capable of. Big snow makes it worse. Sorry to hear about kids getting hurt but where are all the politicians, principles and vice principles responsible for recognizing hazards...

    What about bending over and adopting a universal North American currency similar to the Euro? Do it now while the dollar is up as well. Digital currencies work on a global basis.

    CFL 2021

    Interesting news with the CFL and XFL chatting. Assuming a combined league would warrant a television deal at least 10% of the NFL. More than double the current CFL deal. Not sure this will be good for players. Whole thing with the CFL is the sweetheart deal and working arrangement with TSN...

    Canadian aviation

    Sad to think it went the way it did. Bombardier was undercut at $35 million per plane and now they are selling for $50 +. The government did nothing. Boeing in particular was dumb to pass on partnering given their subsequent issues with the plane they choose to compete with against the C...

    2021 Iditarod

    Martin Buser is there and running close to the front. Some mushers are taking the mandatory 8 early in Rohn. Won't really be clear until the 24's are over. Conditions look good.

    Hearing talk American think tanks are now saying time is more important than money. Beautifully equal in that there are 24 hours in a day.

    Nic Petit at the front as per his usual. No Martin Buser. Always tricky to follow with the mandatory rests and Iditarod.com doing everything they can to make you sign up for news. Ally is there and don't count her out.
