4-year-old woke up this morning asking to go to the Science Centre. We explained that we can't because it's closed.
"Why?"
"It needs to be fixed and the government doesn't want to fix it."
"What is the government?"

10 minutes later he's written a letter to Doug Ford.

We shared a moment of sadness over the Science Centre, then channeled our sadness into action. We always try to answer our son's questions honestly, but I also don't want to burden him with knowledge he can't act on, which is why I was so glad to help him write this letter.
@mbonsma That is amazing, I love this

I miss the Science Centre so much... fond memories. Did you know it acted as a private high school, too? (once). They would accept a small number of students who could replace the last two years of conventional high school with classes at the OSC. I applied but didn't get in

So glad I took my kid there (age 7) before they upgraded to the all important function of "Hey, now rich people won't be homeless!"
