This is sick what is happening up there, but, I feel for all those Canadians that do not buy into this. They are innocent bystanders. Pray for them. I know how it feels to live in a place you love, but, have to deal with crazy government tatics, I live in California… I have seen people post, “I wish California would just fall of into to ocean.” That breaks my heart. But, I am too sensitive at times. :yup:
I’m Canadien, and I aplaud you for your position.
Make sure you find out where your gas, oil, natural gas, electricity, food, technology etc comes from.
You talk the talk, let’s see if you can walk the walk.
Bad decision? It’s a free country with a constitution…this Catholic High School that you mention…is publicly funded! You can’t discriminate against someone in a publically funded institution.
Well, you are more than welcome to come here… I would love to have you here. We will trade you for Susan Sarandon. She wants to move up there again, ya know.
Well, that all sounds really bad to me. That was the worst thing the Catholic Schools could do. What were they thinking?
Gen 18:16-32
The Tax funded Catholic School System has existed in Canada since 1841…43% of the Canadian population is Catholic.

Well, let’s see… Thank you for the information on the amount of time Catholic Schools have been publicly funded. I really do appreciate it. The thing is Canada today is a lot different than Canada 1841. When people start to use the fact that these schools are Government funded as support towards their government regulating them… well… that is where the problems come in.The Tax funded Catholic School System has existed in Canada since 1841…43% of the Canadian population is Catholic.
We have always enjoyed a publicly funded Catholic School System.

Not quite sure what your objections are to a Catholic School…you seem to forget that millions of Canadians can go to a Catholic school, instead of a few hundred wealthy kids who attend a Catholic Private school.Code:... actively contributes to the work of the partners around issues of Curriculum, Teacher Education, Faculties of Education, etc.
I guess you would rather the Catholic Schools shut down in Canada
I think I get your point, but, I am fighting in the trenches at times. Not always a fun place to be, but, a place where we are needed… I am not going to walk away… Although, it has got pretty tempting. Especially lately.
Where in the Charter of Rights does it grant you to take whoever to the Prom? Can you point it out? I do recall FREEDOM of Religion. Its also in the Canadian Constitution that we would have our own Religious school.
It depends where you live.
In Ontario you were given that choice. Thanks for the update though. But the point is, with regard to the Marc Hall case, if people don’t agree with all that Catholicism teaches, then don’t support the school system that enforces what it should teach.
It’s nothing new to have Catholics disagree with some of their own Church’s teachings. As long as Catholic schools are supported by public monies they are open to lawsuits such as Hall’s.
You might be interested to know that until the denominational system was dismantled in 1998, there were no PUBLIC schools in Newfoundland and Labrador. All schools were religion based:
And the Seventh-Day Adventists – they were the 4th school system.
No one can answer this one for me? I cannot believe that the Catholic Bishops of Canada aren’t doing a thing to fight this so-called “Human Rights Tribunal.”
This is just a guess, but I suspect it’s because the law forbids words that subject people to hatred or contempt.
