text: That makes no sense since unlike the USA, Canada does not have a constitutionally mandated separation of church and state.  
  
  In fact our Constitution specifically provides for public funding of denominational schools (minority Catholic or Protestant as the case may be) as part of the "Confederation bargain" as set out by the Supreme Court of Canada.  As the court notes it does not matter that treatment is unequal and does not extend to other religions. See Adler v Ontario (AG), [1996] 3 S.C.R. 609.
