And we shouldn't throw the baby out with the bathwater. Some aspects need to go, like the separate school system and other such ethnic policies.
However, we have become way too liberal in many respects all in the name of not being socially conservative. Our addictive-products laws ought to be far tougher than they are now. Imagine that a person can legally sell sex. Fornication itself should be a fineable offence if there is reason to believe that it involves sexual assault or prostitution in any way given the social ills associated with them and especially given how difficult they are to prove. So yes, I'm a social conservative, but I may not fit in some pre-conceived mould.
Absolutely false. Look it up. How many times do I have to tell you? You only get to choose which one you can vote for. As for the money, it is pooled together for all school boards and divided evenly according to student population.
When the Litterals was the majority in the Senate, me and my buddy Nelford got one of them government contracts to 'weed n feed' them. The commissionaire that was guardin' the entrance said the government always hired farmers, cause we was used to the smell.
Nelford, he got confused. He'd ask someone if it was the smell of bullschitt was we used to, or 'old person' smell. Old people give off an odour to attract predators. If you hang out at the Legion, you'll know what I mean.
Anyhow, that commissionaire got angry. See, he was a retired fellow on the far side of 64. He was due to get pensioned off. (That was before they changed the law about bein' able to work for as long as you could draw a breath.) He didn't like Nelford's suggestion that he smelled 'off'. Still, if you've ever visited Parliament, you've get a whiff of 'old person' smell. It'll convince you not to go back!

There are a ton of things he belligerently believes that are absolutely false.
You get used to it.
Interestingly, my tax bill gives me the option of one of four boards to support ... and I ain't carrying anything. Maybe they should word the statement in a less confusing way
In areas where both public and separate school divisions exist, the education portion of
property taxes is automatically directed to the public school division unless the taxpayer
indicates the taxes should be paid to the separate division.
For this reason, it is important for Catholic taxpayers to ensure that their tax notice
reflects they are Catholic school supporters. The city, town or rural municipality in which
they live will then direct their school taxes to the Catholic school division.
If you are Catholic, in order to have your taxes support the Catholic school board you
must fill out a tax declaration form and submit it to the office of your municipality. The
forms are available by request at your municipal office.
The question of which school board the taxes support should be based only on the
religious faith of the taxpayer.
Property taxes are an important source of funding for all school boards, which also
receive provincial government grants. This system ensures stable funding for all school boards.
There problem is that he doesn't like facts.
You just have to learn to enjoy regularly reminding him about why he's wrong.
See: climate change and oil subsidies.
How can you call youself a social conservative and want to pillage our resources? What's conservative about that?
I just meant it in general terms. How can one call himself a conservative of any kind and want to pillage resources?
I'd put it in the environmental one myself, but I see them as all related, are they not? The economy impacts the environment and vice versa. Personal choices impact the economy and vice versa, no?
As it should be. You don't want the funding to be disproportionate to the student populations.
