I'm reminded of the time in 2011 when #DougFord claimed, derisively, that there were more libraries in his ward than Tim Hortons.

This was amidst a political debate around his brother/puppet Rob Ford attempting to drastically cut library funding.

FTR, there were 13 library branches in his ward and 39 Tim Horton's outlets. And, Etobicoke, the Western 1/4 of Toronto, had the fewest libraries per capita across Toronto.

Finland has more than 700 libraries for a population of 5.6 million, offering everything from podcast studios and 3D printing to tennis rackets and swimming pool passes. According to Vänttinen, the most borrowed items after books in Helsinki libraries are spaces: rooms that can be pre-booked, free of charge, to meet, study, hold political discussions or make music. Among portable items, board games and console games top the list. https://www.bbc.com/future/article/20260618-the-weird-and-wonderful-libraries-of-finland

"The federal government is giving provinces and territories an additional $5.4 billion over two years for the national $10-a-day child-care program, money the minister is framing as stabilizing the program."
