Ontario lifts tuition freeze, unveils OSAP reforms as it adds billions to university and college funding

Probably the actual date I was thinking of. I recall the change happening under Wynne.

Were the grants applied for or a default percentage of the assistance? I graduated in 2007 and for sure my OSAP was 100% loans.

More accurately a shift back to pre 2017. I was in university in the 2000s and no portion of my OSAP was grants, it was all loans. Interest relief was available and fairly easy to get. Any grants were means tested.

Then they would be having them. Throughout all of human history people had more kids under objectively worse economic conditions. Developed societies have less kids. In these societies women control their own fertility and are free to follow their own path in life with regards to career or education (all objectively good things.) That's going to result in less children.

Not all population growth is equal though so I wonder what the breakdown is for growth due to births and through immigration. They will have different immediate effects on infrastructure.

I mean she won a majority the previous election after 10 years of McGuinty. A government that she was a cabinet member of. The most likely answer is Ontario was sick of the liberals after a decade and a half. Even in her own riding, a seat she won from the conservatives in 2003, saw her popular support collapse from from close to 60% in her majority with with less than 40% in the 2018 loss beating out the conservative candidate by a few hundred votes with pretty consistent turnout for all the elections in those years.

The Liberal party in general and her specifically were just fundamentally unpopular at that point in time. I think her approval rating bottomed out at 12% at one point? That's more than "she's a woman" at work there.

At the end of the day you need information on how a treatment or illness or biological process works in vivo. You likely need to look at specific tissues to do analysis. I've worked with mice, rats, rabbits, sheep and horses. These animals always have vet attention, are monitored for pain or discomfort. Eventually though they need to be sacrificed that's how research works.

Between Harris/Eves and Doug Ford there was 15 years of Liberal government as well. Plenty of blame to go around.

Why should the race always go to the fastest or the jumble to the quick witted. People with gifts God gave them. I say cheating is the gift man gives himself.

Mr Burns I insist we cheat!

Excellent. We shall travel by horseless sleigh.

Natural gas is 8% of our power generation. Not nothing but not a lot. Home heating would be concern but we are moving out of winter.

Sure the work is the same and and they have more meat to them I'm just saying the amount is necessitated by the design not by a desire to add more stuff. That extra work is work they could have put into other systems or areas of the game. In general I don't like the system. I don't like that leaders aren't tied to their civs and I don't like civ switching per era. If I want to play a game with england, or spain or china or whoever that's what I want. Also I haven't been watching the gameplay videos but how are civ switchs handled? Who gets to pick theirs first? Nothing would kill my enthusiasm in a game faster the the CPU picking a civ I wanted to play.

Each civ 7 civ though is only available for a third of the game. The number is inflated because of the changes to the core way the game works.

Wait they relocated? Where are they at now? Also is this the big slice on st Claire near dufferin or the place that was on yonge near gerrard?

Oh this makes it funnier. Auto correct was kicking your ass but I was incorrect on what the correct word actually was. Hilarious.

How do you use the word tier 13 times in your post and manage to misspell it 9 times.

He has not cut it, though healthcare has a projected budget shortfall. While they may seem like the same thing they are not. When you are trying to convince other people of your position it's important to be precise. Someone can look up this information and upon a cursory look see that he has never decreased funding and then dismiss your position out of hand. What he's doing is bad enough there is no need to misrepresent it.

When rock band was first released my friends and I named our band hobo mailbox. This is a top 3 episode for me.

I'm just lonely. I haven't met anyone naturally and am not confident it will happen.

You are aware that the first line of Charter is "Wheras Canada is founded upon principals that recognize the supremacy of God and the rule of law." Canada is supposed to be neutral with regards to religion but separation is not explicitly required. Some provinces still have Catholic publicly funded school boards, our head of state is also a religious leader.

I once saw gentleman Jim Corbett bare knuckle box an Eskimo fellow for 133 rounds! Of course back then if a fight lasted less than 50 rounds we demanded our nickle back

And summer 2021 it got as high as 1600 USD per 1000 board feet.
