Dalton McGuinty won't fight religious discrimination

Premier Dalton McGuinty has admitted to being unwilling to stop religious discrimination and has shown his fierce opposition to changing the status quo of waste and unfairness.

In a recent interview on CTV talkback Toronto Premier Dalton McGuinty has responded to the charges of waste and religious discrimination in the Catholic school system with, "That is not something I am prepared to champion here in Ontario."

Facing the fact that Quebec and Newfoundland have recently stopped funding religious public schools by constitutional changes he replies, "We have a Constitution [...] which created two publicly funded school systems and I think we should respect those."

But when he is asked why his government doesn't stop this discrimination by funding other religious schools he replies,
"[...] One of the greatest strengths of our public system is that it bring children from various backgrounds together."
Surely this contradiction is apparent to him and so by his own logic the Catholic system is harming our society by segregating children but he is unwilling to do anything about it.

This refusal of leadership and responsibility in the face of government waste and religious discrimination is inexcusable.
