You have me all wrong. I don’t hate the Catholic church. I hate they they won’t simply tell the Governent to go pee up a rope. The Canadian Catholics should announce that they will no longer accept a single Loonie from the Government in any way, shape, or form for any purpose whatsoever.

1. This has nothing to do with accepting government funding. The government is mandating this on all schools, whether or not they accept government funds, which you would know if you learned something instead of leaping to your own bigotry-based presumptions.

2. The government takes their money, supposedly to teach their children; why SHOULDN’T they demand a portion of it back, if they provide that service for their own kids?

3. As I already noted, the Catholic schools in Quebec largely DON’T take government funds.

It’s like your saying, “She had it coming for dressing like a slut” when the victim was wearing a full habit!

I believe you are factually in error. Montreal Catholic schools were organized specifically to be independent of the Provincial “Confessional” schools which were dependent on public funds. These Montreal Catholic schools are supported by tuition. This is a flat-out attempt by the Montreal provincial government to force independent Catholics to surrender on faith and morals. It has nothing to do with money.

I'd agree, but if Canada is like the US then there are lots of nasty tricks the government has. I could be wrong, but I think the GI Bill in the US counts as "government money" if a soldier wants to go to a private school, which then allows the feds to enforce all their corrosive edicts, like Title IV.
