Not sure why the writer would argue Toronto needs a secular school system. Education is a provincial domain. It would have to be decided at the provincial level and be province-wide. Speaking of provinces, why are New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, P.E.I. and Newfoundland still separate provinces? Surely they could be amalgamated. Same would seem to go for Saskatchewan, which has never grown to the a population that might have been hoped. Perhaps it could be divided, one part given to Alberta, one to Manitoba. Why do we still have a Senate when it is not democratically elected? Why do rural ridings have fewer people, some perhaps 60.000, when an urban one may have 110,00? The Internet cuts the travel that used to be the issue for the rural MP.
The point being, these things are hard to change, and how important is it to change them?
There are 4 million Catholics in Ontario. It would be political suicide for any political party that made it their mission to do away with the Catholic board.
