More Free Advice To John Tory
Now that you've cleverly turned a promise to fund private schools, faith-based and otherwise (I assume...), into a free vote bound to fail (and even the most out-of-it voter understands it would - unless...) should you be elected Premier - you should promise to scrap Catholic school funding.
Seriously, dude.
You could still pull this out of the dumpster and take it right into the Premier's Office.
Trust Sooey.
And you've given yourself a great equity argument with which to launch your announcement. See, you tried to spread the special treatment (using public funds) granted to Catholic boards, administrators, educators and the Catholic Church, around to other faiths. But, citizens were clearly telling you that it was not the direction in which they wanted to go. You now realize that you were attempting to address inequity from the entirely wrong perspective. Now, in order to square your original intention to make fairness the model for education funding with what you've gleaned from voters, you hereby promise that, if elected Premier, you will put an end to the diversion of public funds to Catholic institutions.
Do it! Do it! Do it!
You have nothing to lose but the election.
