      It's been fun, but I need to go to bed.

      If the CA supporters haven't all disappeared into the woodwork I'll be back to bother them tomorrow.

        Oh yeah, like education isn't costing us enough as it is. I'd personally like to see an end to supporting the Catholic system myself, but I realize it's not bloody likely. It's just wasting money as far as I'm concerned. It would be much more cost effective if there wasn't two bureaucracies to feed.

          Why? Neither school board was particularly interested in doctrinal teachings when I went through the public school system (due to large presence of non-Christian students and almost equal mixture of both Prods and Catholics). By now I'd be surprised if they ever mentioned it.
          Well, that's interesting. I can tell you, for a fact, that there a still a crapload of Catholic-with-a-capital-C schools in Central Alberta. I'm graduating from one this year, and I assure you, the doctrine is alive and well.

          And yes, I realise it's hypocritical of me to want the gubment to stop funding Catholic schools when I attend one, but I figure, why not try and take 'em down from the inside, eh? Actually, by the time I figured out how wrong it was, I didn't really feel like throwing my social life into disorder by school-switchin' for the sake of idealism.

          I'm a hero!

          You know that church attendance in Quebec is lower than in any other province, right? Things have changed since the days the Church ran things around here. The religious split was an anachronism 20 years ago, and they finally got rid of the formal distinction.
          Good to know.

          That's because Canadian politics aren't significant enough to care about if you are foreign.

            He's just jealous because his country has never been number one on the UN "Best Countries in the World to Live In" list. How many times have we made it? Anyone know the number?

              Do you need to be so patriotic and nationalistic?

              I've lived in both the US and Canada, and damnit, if you're middle class or above the US is a much better place to live in.

                  Well I happen to be one of the other 50-60% in the economic scale, so I guess it wouldn't appeal to me very much.

                    Guess not. Tough break.

                      "I'd personally like to see an end to supporting the Catholic system myself, "

                      I think that the Catholic system is cheaper to operate than the public system. The church is saving the government money, rather than the other way 'round.

                            Yeah, it would be kind of nice to have a place where all the Canadian patriots could tell the American patriots to go to hell.

                                I guess I'll have to add English patriots to the list as well.

                                What's the matter, angry that you have so few colonies to look down your nose at these days?
