'Dan D' explains why the Ford Nation are such ninnies

Comment on blogTO regarding Marget Atwood and Doug Ford's ignorance.

Margaret Atwood is attached to libraries because she is used to them and they were integral to her growth. They are increasingly becoming irrelevant. It's the age of the internet people! How is Margaret Atwood an authority on this? Because she's a legendary author? That has nothing to do with the importance of libraries for people today. She's out of touch and is superimposing her values on our society. She can't possibly understand the difference between libraries 30-40 years ago and today.

I would close down most libraries in TO for free citywide wifi anyday.

That's just me. I'm 26.


And thank God it's just you.
