Q. “Can I use a proofreader's help in writing essays (UK uni)? Is it a good or bad idea?”Paul San, you should check with the university to find out their policy on using proofreaders for your essay. If your English is weak, you could get a tutor to help increase your grammar and writing skills.In general, though, instructors want to see what you are capable of creating, not what some friend or stranger can produce.—Sarah M. 2/1/2018

Q: “Can I apply to all 3 campuses in UofT with the same OUAC form? I know you can apply to 3 unis, but can you actually apply to UofT 3 times but to different campuses, e.g., applying to humanities in St. George, Scarborough, and Mississauga campuses?”This is an important question for a new applicant that we cannot get a reliable and updated answer from a random person in this forum. I suggest you to contact with admission officers in charge of new admissions, even not with a U of T’s professor or office worker. This is a corporation, from business view, so, the policies and decisions can be changed based on the market and supply-demand situation. To the best of my knowledge, the three campuses are managed relatively independently, it might be possible to apply to all of them. But, still you need to get the reliable answer from the admission staff.Thanks for request to answer.~ SD

Can I offer a little lesson in the health of polities? This might seem patronising, but I actually don’t mean it to be; I feel there’s a powerful lesson on offer, if you’re willing to be open to it …Q: Does anybody actually like Doug Ford?[Since Quora is predominantly an American website, just FYI: Doug Ford is the Premier of Ontario, a Canadian province (meaning he’s like a US Governor of a State), and was recently elected in a huge, blowout election victory that toppled the previous government. He is also a large, sweaty, rough and uncouth man, sort of like a Canadian Donald Trump-lite-ish fellow.)A: Doug Ford is the duly elected Premier of Ontario! He (his Party) received millions-upon-millions of votes in the most recent election. It is demonstrably the case that: a great many people politically-speaking ‘like’ Doug Ford. He is presently the MOST liked politician in Ontario! By very, very far! That’s what elections do — they show who is most ‘liked’ among the political elites. Ford’s election is an incontrovertible fact.(And even if you’re going to advance, or fall back upon, the position that people don’t really like Ford — then all you’re effectively saying is that: voters so much disliked all the other alternatives that they were willing to vote for Doug Ford.)Now here’s the political lesson part: You’re question is nothing more than a ‘virtue signalling’ exercise on your part. It’s also politically narcissistic. These types of ‘in-group’ or ‘socially exclusionary’ questions and qualifiers are exactly the type of ‘woke’ politics and ‘political correctness’ that many find ever so distasteful. Furthermore, they allow people — Ford’s detractors, in this case — to wall themselves off from political self-criticism and self-reflection; it allows people to withdraw from political reality into self-referential political bubbles.These are the same phenomena that allowed the election of Donald Trump, and the vote for Brexit, and the blowout win for Boris Johnson, etc, etc — voters, media, and social and political elites badly detached from political realities.Doug Ford did not just ‘scrape by’ in the last election; Ford absolutely destroyed his political opposition! The governing Liberal Party were effectively annihilated, you could now fit all their elected members into a single subcompact car!To ask if “people really like Doug Ford?” is to exhibit how truly detached you are from political reality! It’s also to exhibit that you have no political argument against the man; your question is literally the political version of ‘body shaming’. You don’t have an answer for Ford, so you just say he’s ‘not a cool kid’ and ‘everyone doesn’t like him’ and then tell everyone ‘he’s not invited to your birthday party’.Rather than play all this ‘in group’, ‘only-for-the-cool-kids’ virtue signalling and retreating into self-referential bubbles, I suggest instead that you examine ‘why’ Ford so badly beat his political opponents, and, from that basis, begin forming actual political arguments against his policies. Playing all ‘woke’ and telling the world you’re ‘not inviting Ford to your birthday party’ is a politically pathetic recipe for defeat.Because it’s an incontrovertible fact that: millions-and-millions of people very much LIKE Doug Ford!!Disclaimer: I don’t know Doug Ford. I’ve never met him. I’ve never even seen him. I didn’t vote for him. I have no position or opinion, for or against, Ford, or his policies. I just studied ‘politics’ in Uni about a million years ago, and that’s how I know a minor amount about Ontario’s politics. Also, I’d like to help the Quora community, and the wider world, onto a higher plane of political discussion.
