Voter scolds John Tory over private religious school funding

[Canaboy12]

why does everyone hate tory so much? hes learned! tim hudak's worse!!!

Tory is a failed looser that no one wants, im a 416 Conservative and I stayed on the sidelines last time, he is not a Conservative, he is a flip flopping Liberal, good luck in Haliburton Tory, you better bring lots of barrels of pork if you want to get voted in uo there, I know I won't be voting for him down here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[thunderflash82]

He should have said he was going to fund private schools not religious schools. Would of had more populist appeal but then Tory is as dumb as a box of hammers so it wouldn't have matter anyways.

What is McGuinty doing to help Ontario economically. The TSX lost $70 Billion today and McGuinty has done nothing. Way to go Ontario! You will be glad you voted McGuinty when you lose your jobs.

Gotta love the McGuinty's attack machine.

Politics as usual. Attack, attack, attack.

Spin, Spin, Spin.

I was going Green, since I don't agree with the Tories', Liberal's, and NDP's ideals, but like always they don't win anything.

As for funding religion. I do not know what was in his mind when he said that. IMO, it should be that no religious schools should be funded, since it isn't fair to fund just one religion.

"Liberal plant likes theocracy" should be the title of this video. The taxpayer in Ontario funds one religion only. This is patently unfair, the historical argument has worn thin. In 1867 there was slavery yet we have done away with it.

I'm surprised he got away with it..

One more minute with her and she would have slapped him silly and sent him to the corner....

LOL..................

That woman has balls Tory is a tool...make sure you vote...

Shouldn't have made any platform statement on this issue without public consultation, especially within his own party! The best leaders seek out others' views first.

Catholic system is an artifact of our history. Taxpayers CHOOSE on property tax bill to fund Catholic or Public system.

IMHO 'Religion' is largely a patriarchal construct of 'God', really only a Hatfields and McCoys family feud. Knowing God comes from within through personal spiritual experience.

[roawoo]

they dont get funding through property tax anymore

Mr Tory Flip flops in a big way......the exact same thing he pointed a finger at other parties of doing. Its so ovbious that he is not cut out be the next Premier of Ontario, even to his own cacus .

This guy is a Grade A idiot. I've been pulling for him for FOUR YEARS and then he does this. I am hoping for a minority so in 2 years we can have a do-over with a competent leader I can use as a lightning rod for my discontent with idiot # 2 McGuinty.

[slimmer1972]

I don't think people fully understand what Tory is saying. The religious schools that apply for the funding would have to have accredited teachers and become an accredited institution; they wouldn't just get the money.

...and if this is such a touchy subject, why do we fund catholic schools? I say we fund them all or none of them.

[shackproof1987]

thats awful. but it is the people who's gonna be endangered by his plans that i feel most sorry about.
