“You’re picking basket-weaving courses and there’s not too many baskets being sold out there. Go into healthcare, go into trades,” shared Ford. “Those are where the jobs are.”
If Ford was really serious about promoting healthcare and the trades, he would make OSAP loan/grant ratios dependent on the course taken. Make OSAP 90% grant 10% loan for the trades and health care, and 90% loan 10% grant for basket weaving courses.
“Some”. No numbers are offered, no case studies, no examples. Hot air and nothing but
I would think basket weaving courses are an elective to take as alongside the normal courses. Ofc maybe some people take just those courses for the knowledge. Personally I want to weave my own laundry basket rather then keep buying cruddy plastic ones from walmart.
*Also, those courses might count toward a degree in Art Education, which, IIRC, is part of a psych degree in early childhood development. Really not sure about that though, but it could be something like that.
Doug doesn’t understand electives and rounded education. He also recommended programs that are now severely restricted for student numbers because of eight years of chronic underfunding.
He somehow thinks students can just enter any program anywhere. Life Sciences or Health Sciences at McMaster have an entry cutoff of 96 and 94.
There are no degree programs on electives.
Does Ford really have the background to comment on this?
Grade 12 grad who somehow managed to flunk out of a grade 13 equivalency program at Humber, never held a real job his entire life.
He has NO IDEA what goes on at universities, neither do the chronic losers who vote for him.
He is a certified idiot. I can’t think of anyone more suitable to spew this trash.
trying to out-clown danielle smith.
Even arguing against a straw horse would have risked defeat with his stupid argument. So a straw basket argument was the best he could muster.
What a goof.
