I happen to agree with the UN in this case. Public funding of Catholic schools but no other parochial school system is clearly discriminatory. It's also wasteful of public funds, as we have to fund two sets of schools, administrators, school buses and so on. And don't start on about how public funds should be available to all parents to send kids to schools of their choice, since they pay into the system. I pay lots of taxes, too, and I don't have any kids at all. By the above logic I shoudn't have to contribute to funding education at all.

But those are questions CANADA should address, not the UN nor even us, it's simply none of our business.

Even if you agree you have to ask yourself, "Why is the UN giving a sovereign nation marching orders? WTF?"
