Guess they don’t have Catholic schools then..
News from the tundra.
Then the Catholic schools should stop accepting federal funding, so they can teach truth.
Canada.......nice maple syrup, thinking that’s beginning to be the limit.

In Canada you’re free to think anything the thought police will let you think.
Then Catholics in Canada should be exempt from taxes which they pay with the expectation that their government exists for their benefit.
Will Islamic schools be held to the same?
Some people were meant to be forever a colony.
Probably not since the Muslim schools tend to teach Islamic lifestyle, not civics.
Canada Ping!
Thank you for the ping.
A Women’s right to choose...
What? It’s funny how they never finish the sentence.
1/2 the aborted babies are Women, how is that not misogyny?
Leftist logic at its finest.
What is misogyny, is that 100% of those guilty of committing abortions are women. The goal of Canadian government is apparently to create a gender of murderers.
Not sure what exactly you mean.
I do not beleive churches should be tax exempt.
Tax exemptions lead to the government telling you what you can and can not say.
If any church accepts money from the government as a supplement, the government can tell them what they can and can not say.
Catholic schools are private schools, they should teach according to their beliefs without the government interfering, that’s why there is a fee to attend the school.
It is Canada and the government there has been dictating thought for a very long time.
This is the lefts latest line of attack. Everyone is being labeled a misogynist - it is happening in Australia, Canada and the USA - we need to see how well organised these b#stards are and understand these are not random but co-ordinated world wide attacks on our freedoms!

Publicly funded Catholic schools?????
The point is, a Canadian Catholic pays taxes and he supports the Church through the collection at Mass. The taxes them go to the Catholic school because Canada subsidizes Catholic education. If the government stops the subsidy of the school then the Canadian Catholic picks up the slack by increasing his private contribution to the Church. His taxes should be refunded by the same amount because he already paid for his kids’ education.
But I further question the premise that since the government pays the subsidy it gets to decide what the school should teach. This premise is pure silliness: the reason people hire professionals is because they are not professionals themselves. When I ask the services of a doctor I do not get to tell him how to cure my illness, when I ask the services of a plumber I do not tell him how to do plumbing. If that minister of theirs thinks in her head that she knows what the children should learn in school, she should get government schools funded and teach whatever nonsense she thinks is proper in these schools. If the Canadian voter and taxpayer prefers Catholic education to Brotenskulz, then Ms Broten should pipe down and pay for her educational projects with her own money.
Yes, apparently. The theory must be that since the Catholic schools can actually teach, then there is a public good in it, and so taxes should fund it. I am not fond of the idea, but then I am not Canadian maybe for that reason.
