Quote by: Praxius  Now there's more to this then just a typical election:  CTV.ca | Ontario residents heading to the polls
There's a pile more information on that link but just too much to debate about, so I picked the two main points:
#1 - Do you feel it's a good idea to change the election system where at the polls you could vote for the political party you want to rep where you live and another to vote for who you want to run the country?
#2 - Do you think it's a good idead for a provience/state to fund faith based schools with tax payer's money? |
I don't think such a change should be entered into lightly. If you are only voting for the political party (an institution that should be abolished) then you're leaving everything up to the party bosses. Always be wary of giving more power to political parties.
As for the second issue, I realize that Canada is a socialist country with this whole nanny state mentality that says it's the government's job to take care of its citizens from cradle to grave. With that in mind, do you really think you can trust your government to have the monopoly over most of Canada's kids? Are kids really being harmed by having the opportunity to go to schools that are more-often-than-not better than government-run schools? Or is it that you people up there in Canada are just plain evil and think that anything even remotely smacking of religion is harmful to children? We've had a similar issue here in the States with regard to school vouchers except that the private schools didn't have to be religious. The teachers' union has managed to keep school vouchers from coming to pass on a large scale and, so, the majority of America's children are stuck in these piss-poor government indoctrination centers that teach them all about exploring deviant sexualities but leave them unable to find major U. S. cities on a map or unable to read much more than the local dumbed down newspaper. I say all of that but, at the same time, if I were running a religious school I would try to stay as far away from government hand-outs as possible because with government hand-outs comes government interference.
As for that idiot McGinty who said, "It's going to hurt our kids, it's going to hurt our province," they're not his damned children and they're not the province's children: the children belong to the parents.
