&gt;<i>&quot;That&#x27;s a good story that the Fraser institute made a lot of noise about&quot;</i><p>Please avoid implying that the post you are replying to is a shill unless you have good evidence to that effect.  Even well-supported ad hominiem attacks rarely discredit the substance of a post, and your ad-hominem attack is unsupported by any evidence.  You also failed to reply to what the post above you actually said, which was that Ontario was doing worse now than ever before (relative to the other provinces).<p>In addition, I don&#x27;t think this post follows the spirit of the Hacker News guidelines.<p>&quot;Be civil. Don&#x27;t say things you wouldn&#x27;t say in a face-to-face conversation. Avoid gratuitous negativity.<p>When disagreeing, please reply to the argument instead of calling names.&quot;
