I live on left coast. i don't follow every detail of what goes on in
places like ontario. whatever the education minister in ontario says is
likely of little import to me.

it's almost a full-time job having disdain for the politicians who
actually do influence my life.

btw, what does "Just a little defitent in math...." mean? have you guys
come up with yet more ways to spells words differently? is that perhaps
an american spelling of "deficient"?

given what follows, that figures:

OECD/PISA Study:
Reading Literacy

1. Finland
2. Canada

14. France
15. United States
