Yesterday I deviated from my formula or wry observation gusting to non-stop hilarity and jokey-jokes and put up a comment about this whole "Faith-based school funding."
My Pal Lou Schizas checked in with his take.
Hi Howard - as I mentioned when we discussed the funding of faith based schools today. Parents do not send their children to Catholic Schools for the 1/2 hour a day of faith training they get - its because they believe that its a higher quality education. My take on the situation is the same as all public sector programs-- they fail to work because the public system can only exist without competition - if every family was given an education voucher - and could freely choose which school they could send their children to I doubt it would be a public school. And with the Mc Ads when I see them I ask where do his kids go to school? Happy Captalism!
To me it is the only issue of note in this Fall election and it permeates all aspects of the political discourse.
From the obvious: Bill Murdoch the PC incumbent in Bruce-Grey-Owen Sound says he didn't realize how divisive the issue would be when it was first introduced by our leader....and should this come before the legislature I will vote against it!
Okay Bill thanks for weighing in with that, it's nice to hear a politician saying what he really thinks, even if I don't agree with it.
The not so obvious comes from Dalton McG of course, who went to Catholic school mind you and is pushing the "We're all in this Together" crap every chance he gets.
When asked, How many countries have you visited? He replies, blah blah trade mission to China, blah blah to fully appreciate how blessed we are in Ontario to be home to people from every corner of the globe, who (here it comes) live Together here and work and build Together, blah blah.
Give me a break. Yeah we all work, live and build together, except those in the separate school system.
John Tory is starting to get the vibe that this isn't the most popular issue he could have raised but I like the fact that he had the balls to do it.
He says no matter what opposition he gets he'll go forward with his plan because it's a "matter of principle."
What more can you ask of someone in charge. Tell us what you're going to do then when your elected do it.
Okay, that's it for today now back to the jokey-jokes and YouTube videos.
