In this LeDrew rant, Stephen LeDrew asks how Canada allowed a generation of young people to leave school without mastering basic skills like handwriting, spelling, reading and writing.
LeDrew argues that schools, education experts, unions and governments abandoned fundamentals in favour of digital learning — while many parents had no idea what their children were no longer being taught.
But his bigger target is Canadians themselves. From education and municipal spending to deteriorating infrastructure, questionable priorities and political leadership, LeDrew says too many Canadians have stopped challenging “experts” and have stopped demanding accountability from their elected officials.
His message is simple: Canada’s problems will not fix themselves. Canadians need to pay attention, ask harder questions and start demanding better.
