The Ontario Superior Court has reaffirmed that public funding for Catholic schools in Ontario is constitutionally protected. But as Cardus's David Hunt tells The Catholic Register, it would serve the public good to extend that funding to all religious schools.

"Far from dividing Canadians, faith communities help create a generous culture inspired by what their sacred texts proclaim about ministering to the world," write Ray Pennings, executive vice-president of Cardus, and Rev.

Together, they make a plea for Canadians to stand with Middle Eastern Christians this Christmas and Hannukah.

"The risks associated with Canada-wide $10-a-day childcare were well identified," write Cardus's Peter Jon Mitchell and Andrea Mrozek in the Financial Post. "Detailed warnings were issued. But the federal government ignored them. Now, unfortunately, we’re seeing the crash that was predicted."
