The main problem is they don't have math teachers teaching these kids. Fucking useless artsies with French backgrounds.
In high school this can be an issue specially in rural areas, but its not a concern in Elementary level.
It isn't the reason kids can't give change out

How about the abysmal performance of students in math.
The tests showed that only half of Grade 6 students met the provincial standard in math, unchanged from last year, and 62 per cent of Grade 3 students met the standard, a one percentage point decrease from the previous year.
Maybe they should focus less on teaching kids about homosexual lifestyles and methods and focus more on the 3 R's.
I heard an interview yesterday comparing what it takes to become a teacher in Quebec compared to Ontario. It's a lot tougher and the education more focussed on teaching skills to become a teacher in Quebec than in Ontario it seems and apparently the students there do a lot better than in Ontario.
They were discussing how the math curriculum in Ontario doesn't focus on learning 2 X 2 = 4 (times tables) but more on WHY 2 X 2 = 4. I'm not sure what that means really but I do know you can confuse the heck out of most younger cashiers in a store these days. Your bill comes to $18.37. You hand the cashier a $20 bill and they enter the amount in the register. It tells them the change should be $1.63. Now give them another two quarters ($0.50) and watch most of them scratch their head. They can't figure out that the change should now be $2.13 so you end up with less coin.
Math has always been the hardest subject, most people just don't understand much about it.......
3R's
writing is almost useless today as computers take over
reading is done more today then anytime in history as people are glued to there phones reading messages
Math - will never change
the 1950's are gone, where schools didn't need to expand the education and just taught the same shit year after year. Todays world is far more complex then the simple times of your youth. Back in your day beating on a gay kid was considered okay - making fun of a retarded child was okay - calling someone a Nigger was okay
Times have changed 02sled, you should open the basement door go up the stairs and go outside. There is a whole new world for you to look at

Whilst I. Glad we agree he was good for a bit. I think he should not have run again. The lame attack adds on Justin and some shady shit at the end sunk him. Should have stepped away after his last term.
Harper proved he was in it for himself and fucked over the entire party
Unlike you oneways - I never posted anything negative about Harper until the last 2 years and up coming election.
Trudeau gets elected and revrnd goes and others go nuts with Trudeau posts from day one.
Harpers attack on Muslims did him in, and left the door open for Trudeau to go overboard the other way.

What % of those jobs were created by small business that he is attacking?
you tell us?
I have always said its business that creates the jobs not the government, where you flip flop depending on the Party.
Harper made gains in jobs do to his government but in Ontario jobs were created by business.
Now jobs are again created by business and not Trudeau
we all see the trend here

Side of the mouth didn't have a recession to deal with and had an economy recovering with an added bonus of GST and free-trade. Two things he was against.
Mulroney doubled our debt, considering Trudeau increased it 10 fold and Harper's went up 25%, again after another recession. Don't look at static numbers.
JT will eclipse Harper's debt numbers, inflation will rise and we will have another recession. Our housing is already starting to take a turn, so are we blaming JT for it? Harper at least created real estate wealth for the middle class.
wow
so you are saying Harper single handed created a housing market most people can't ever enter? is this what you are boosting about?
don't look at static numbers so Trudeau can borrow more than Harper did and still have a lower percent increase 
I can just hear you cheering those numbers in the future -

Cheering part-time jobs, you can't make this shit up. Congrats part-time PM.
So again its Trudeau's fault walmart hires only partime? when do you think this will change?
Service sector industries led employment gains in August, with an increase of 14,600 jobs in the finance, insurance and real estate category. Employers also added 9,800 positions in transportation and warehousing, and 8,900 in accommodation and food services.
Most of the decrease in full-time employment occurred among workers between the ages of 15 and 24. In the last year, employers have added 213,000 full-time jobs, compared with 161,000 part-time positions.

We added to the debt, so operation budgets are not a true measure of a balanced budget when the net debt still increases. The Feds don't seem to have that accounting luxury.
I will repeat - the only Time in recent memories we had a surplus and debt went down was under the Liberals ....
You really can't hold to much value to debt or you would be boosting about side mouth and Martin
Instead you boost about the guy that had the 2nd most debt in our History, or it would be Mulroney that had the highest debt ever.
You are a true ONEWAY

Ontario has passed California in debt and we are 1/3 the population, lost some points on our borrowing rating. Where does it end on the countless scandals.
We will see how Canada fairs. I think Harper did a good job during the great recession. Canada did fairly well compared to our friends down south.
I don't disagree but like I said Ontario fared well during the recession too in the exact same manner as Harpers near record debts.....
Quebec owes less but more per person - does that make them better lol

We have seen how Ontario has done under a liberal government. Give Canada time. Ontario = most in debt sub Nation in the world.
Ontario certainly is, would it have happened no matter who was in charge? most likely YES
running 2 balanced/surplus budgets prior to 2008 crash, then getting no credit like Harper for keep Ontario out of the gutter.
We are GREECE
what happened to that slogan? Ontario is %40 of the GDP vs Greece at %175 of their GDP
Comparing who owes the least in the game of debt seems stupid
When Browne wins next year, debt will rise and the blame will be on the Liberals still

On another note. Canada has the best performing economy in the G7. If they said that about the US all the Trumpsters would claim it was because of his amazing business sense.
Maybe snowboarders know a thing or two.
back in the early days when Harper saved us from economic diaster we praise our Lord. When our Lord brought us down to the worst in the G7 the blame was put on to ........ the Liberals somehow.
Now that we are best in G7 again, RECORD GROWTH this has ZERO to do with nice hair Trudeau
so really it just depends on the Controlling Party
What is never mentioned is, when Harper had a Minority government his economic records was good, when he won his only Majority our economy slipped to last place
Timing is everything

The fentanyl that true addicts are using IS NOT being dispensed by doctors in Canada.
Its being shipped over the border in powder form from China.
Those USERS are not the people dying on the streets because when you know you are taking fentanyl you take controlled doses for the most part. Its the fuckwads lacing shit that is killing people.
Statistics from January to April of 2016 reveal that fentanyl, a synthetic opioid that can be 100 times stronger than morphine, was found in 56 percent of all BC drug overdoses—up from 31 percent in 2015. The province's 200-plus fentanyl deaths this year has been declared a public health emergency.
But many of the people dying of fentanyl overdoses don't even realize that's what they're taking, according to health authorities and cops who are warning recreational drug users that they're at risk of dying when they take drugs like oxycodone, ecstasy, heroin, MDMA, and cocaine, all of which could be laced with fentanyl. In Vancouver, heroin is believed to have been all but replaced with fentanyl
He says fentanyl's popularity has risen as the availability of opiates such as OxyContin and oxycodone has declined. Doctors are writing fewer prescriptions for those drugs because of concerns about abuse and addictions
There's an additional danger when a person is not a regular opioid user and inadvertently ingests fentanyl.
Here is a clip of MOMO reaction to the patch
Man made drugs are cool

That fucking kills me every time I here it. What a dolt. I would kick my own brothers ass if he ever became a Liberal and certainly would not vote for him.
My wife's grandmother never voted for her own husband when he ran for mayor of their small town (he won), instead she gave the nod to the nephew.

a hell of a lot cheaper then a life time of social services and hospital stays.
just that that set in cause in BC and other places, death by overdose seems to be the only way to beat it.
bold is so true for many addicts
but "safe injection sites" are far cheaper than a dead guy on the street
Thinking you can stop drugs or addicts is 1920 thinking, the war on drugs is not working and has never worked. In fact its more rampant now then anytime in history.....

Do you?
a bit over 2 million a month today,
now agree its nowhere near the most dangerous drug in the world but its use is far less.
9 people a day die and cost you money, so lets close safe injection sites because you don't believe in them.
Hospital costs by substance in 2011 in descending order were:
-
Alcohol: $145 million
-
Opioids: $15 million

Great job Trudeau!!!!!
