The Ministry of Education of Alberta not only treats all religions equally in its funding practices, but also allows Cree and Blackfoot, among other languages, to fulfil second-language requirements for highschool graduation.
The Ontario Ministry of Education officially discriminates on the basis of religion in its fundig practices and recognizes only French as being able to fulfil second-language requirements for highschool graduation, neglecting the local Aboriginal languages completely.
Based on these facts, it would appear that Alberta's education is more progressive than Ontario's overall.
Any other interesting comparison's out there? I find this interesting because we normally thnk of Albrta as being the narrow-minded province while Ontario is supposed to be the more progessive one.
