Start explaining how that education benefits Ontario. Most people honestly do not see the value that is provided in adulthood.

Canada is the most educated country in the world, and Ontario is the most educated province in Canada. Ergo Ontario is the most educated place on earth. Given that Ontario is the most educated place on earth, and by a large margin at that, start telling about all the things that Ontario demonstrates that the rest of the world does not. It should be easy.

Boomers like money. As we all know that education provides higher incomes, you could show how Ontario is home to the richest people on earth thanks to being the most educated nation. That would get their attention.
