The premier answered questions on his age and salary, but made sure to cram in some educational and patriotic content as well
The article from SooToday discusses a unique educational event where Ontario Premier Doug Ford visited a third-grade class in Sault Ste. Marie to explain complex economic concepts like tariffs and GDP in a simplified manner. During his visit, Ford used the analogy of a lemonade stand to illustrate how tariffs work, explaining that if another country puts a tax on Canadian products, it makes them more expensive and less competitive. He also touched on GDP by describing it as the total value of everything made and sold in Canada, likening it to the total amount of lemonade sold by all the stands in the country. The visit was part of an initiative to make economic education accessible to young students, with Ford engaging the children by asking them to wave Canadian flags, symbolizing national pride and unity.
