Let me get this straight. The provincial government is just going to hand us $400 ($200/kid) and expect that this will make us simply…forget?…ok about?…about our drastically underfunded education system and healthcare system in crisis?

I wish that funding would go to our public schools instead. They already have the infrastructure, expertise, community contacts, and resources in place to support students that I, as a busy parent, don't have. – at Kingston, Ontario
The Ford government says it will increase the amount of direct financial support to help parents with tutoring to $365million.
Trouble is, the government has yet to provide a shred of detail in terms of how much each family will get, when, and for what exactly.

When healthy ecosystems are disrupted, natural disasters occur. In B.C.'s Howe Sound region, it's estimated a flood would cause $98-$250M in damages.
A healthy, functioning ecosystem = a better investment!
