I love the whole "I don't have kids in school anymore, I shouldn't have to pay taxes that go to the public school" argument from people.
It's the classic "I got mine, fuck you."
I have no kids.
I never want kids.
Take more of my tax money and put it towards schools and not cops.
Thank you.

I’d like to save the Ford Government of Ontario $9 million dollars of the public’s money.
No, a 60km tunnel under highway 401 isn’t feasible.
In fact, it’s colossally stupid.
It’s possible that it’s all a distraction from the failure to properly invest in public transit.
You’re welcome.
