The Catholics brought this on themselves. What people probably do not realize, Catholic schools in Ontario are funded by the government, and Catholics demanded it. It all has to do with Canadian sectarian history. For ever, Quebec, francophone and Catholic, funded Catholic education with taxpayer money. It was a way of sticking it to the anglophone minority. In Protestant Ontario, Catholic schools were not funded by the Protestant majority way back when. But as the Catholic population of Ontario increased with immigration, the Catholic Church wanted the same deal as Quebec. They finally got what they wanted, and here you are. Always remember, he who pays the bills, plays the tune. Anytime you want government involved in religion in anyway, this is what you get. If anyone still want to go this route, then you better hope your candidates win elections not just once, or twice, but every time. Remember, the other guys do win sometimes.

Once you accept the king’s shilling you are his. This was brought on by the Canadian Catholics themselves. I’m Catholic and would have fought tooth and nail to keep the schools from accepting state funding. Stupid move on their part. If they want to survive as Catholic they need to stop their state funding. Support themselves as in the U.S.
