This is no "misstep". On the contrary, appeal to Davis seems a decent move, one that is likely to be lost on most. His end-of-term decision to extend the...
A lot of parents I met in a religious school my children attended (including my traditional Catholic inlaws) very much want to segregate based upon religion...

Clearly stated below: " They were community-oriented in their thinking, and law abiding." Thus no data here regarding actual adult negative effect of...
Well, there was considerable data in what I wrote as to why diversity was being harmed, or are personal experiences of no value in making policy decisions? ...
More comments to add: Simple liberalism tends to lead people to a simple solution, the conservative solution, namely, no diversity or shutting the other out, ...
Ontario has Feed-In-Tarriffs for Solar, Wind and Bioenergy already. It’s called the “Standard Offer Program” (SOP). But, just where is the action from...
I've just learned that CBC's The National is running the libel chill piece featuring myself and Kate Holloway TONIGHT between 10 and 11 p.m. EST. We are...
I could provide a great deal of personal observations as "data", reflecting negatively on insularity, but one must examine the sociological data to plan...
"Doctrine" has been a Christian business, not really applicable to others. There are humilities & there are humilities. The West "stumbled" upon a measure of...
This "unthinking liberal" has actually put a lot of thought into this, unlike you. This is a completely specious argument that you put forward, not backed up...
Actually it is religion that makes war. This time it may be a case of war on the taxpayer. Mosques, Synagogues and Churches and Temples all lining up to ...
Mark, I'm not entirely sure what your anecdote based on your experiences is intended to prove, but it comes across as a sweeping generalization of all parents...
I take enormous offence to your comments. My faith is not "superstition", nor is it responsible for war. I await your apology. ... From: Constantine...
Well, from what I've read, this is an issue in other provinces. It was in Quebec, where I come from. The private school my kids attended was not a rich school....
Constantine, you wouldn't (have to pay). Right now, Ont. religious schoolers, unlike almost all other Canadians, pay through the nose for both secular schools...
The "oblivion" was drawn as a logical point, also rhetorically to mirror some people's impatience with the viability of religious schooling. If there is too...
Hi everyone, I would like to see the people arguing this point step back a moment and think about what you are saying before you post~ie. consider whether your...
Submit your suggestions for a Green Party songbook project! There are a lot of obvious suggestions such as Joni Mitchell's "Big Yellow Taxi", which has become...
Daryl, I do not feel sorry for those that pay for religious segregation. Religious schoolers pay "out of choice". Is there any reason parents can not teach...
Daryl I think that maintaining traditionalism is 99% a function of the heart - not whether the taxpayer pays for religious schools. Constantine Kritsonis ......
Greetings all, I think it would be in our (GPO) interest to adopt a policy of education funding attached to the child not the school board. It has some...
Excuse the overlap on this posting, feel free to distribute elsewhere. The GPO-Forum is currently offline. Apparently the machine died, and will be repaired...
Oddly enough, this is in the MSN Finance top stories... It makes me glad that the GPO already has a policy in place to move in this direction. Victoria ...
Constantine, you & others are ducking the most salient question: it works pretty much everywhere else in Canada, why not here? Of course the home is at the...
Does it work elsewhere? That seems to be a fairly expansive statement. And Ontario is not 'elsewhere' anyway. When sharia law (albeit confined by our law) was...
Yes, it does work quite well elsewhere. Elsewhere is any other province in Canada where it matters demographically - provinces such as Quebec, Alberta and...
I have not seen the claim that public funding of religious schools (or of any otherwise private schools) is working fine elsewhere backed up. Nor have I seen...

Having read concerns across Canada about public funding of private schools, I have to strongly disagree that it's a non-issue elsewhere. Tell me, what do you...
