    Ford: we discovered we had classes with 4 or 5 people in them

    I took several of those. Frankly advanced math departments are very small. It’s also very useful in surprising ways.

    A lot of topics get niche and you would only have one school teaching a topic in the whole province if we didn’t have small classes at the top end.

    E.g. math would literally only be Waterloo.

      I enjoy comparing all the leaders on several metrics as I study all this

      Look at all the education backgrounds of all four of them

      Crombie, Schreiner and Stiles have plenty of post secondary education

      Ford graduated high school and dropped out of college
