-- Toronto -- The government of Ontario is handing over $4-million in additional funding to the Toronto School Board so that public schools in some of the city's poorer and more dangerous neighbourhoods can stay open throughout the summer.The strangely illiberal premise here seems to be... the more we can keep "disadvantaged youth" away from their family, friends and neighbourhood... the safer we'll all be.
I'm just spitballin' here, but my guess is, the most significant benefit of this program will be... up-and-coming pharmaceutical entrepreneurs appreciating having a well populated, air conditioned place of business.
No surprise here... going after crime and criminals just isn't on the Liberal Party radar.
