God this ignorant shit pisses me off but I fully expect to see more of it emanating from the BC budget later today.

"Ford said taxpayers want to know that the courses students are picking — and that they’re paying for — are going to help an in-demand jobs sector in the province. He mentioned trades, healthcare and STEM-related fields as those that would provide jobs to graduates. "

I hate to tell you this Doug, but trades, healthcare and STEM are not the only things to do in the world.

You need teachers.
You need business leaders.
You need writers, and journalists and media producers
You need people who know political science, and philsophy, and anthropology.
You need people who can identify when AI is *wrong*, and it's wrong a LOT, in absolutely every way.
