🇨🇦 30.6 billion and kids still get rationed care

Ontario boasts record education funding of $30.6 billion, yet schools are rationing educational assistants and evacuating classrooms because one EA is split across four rooms, as reported. That is the entire managerial genius of modern Canada: spend more, deliver less, then blame a spreadsheet, a board, or the weather. Queen’s Park says it backed 4,500 additional EAs, but somehow high-needs students still get chaos, burnout, and staff crying in parking lots before shifts.

This is what post-national governance looks like in practice. Endless billions for bureaucratic theater, DEI fluff, and every fashionable consultant scam, while the basic civilizational job of keeping classrooms functional collapses. Human support is treated like an optional add-on, because the system worships announcements, not outcomes. Trudeau-era Canada normalized paying top dollar for bottom-tier state capacity, and the provinces learned the trick well. If the state cannot staff schools after record funding, it is not underfunded. It is unserious, bloated, and actively failing the country it pretends to serve.
