Most Ontarians support merging the public and Catholic school systems. Commissioned by the CBC, Oraclepoll Research randomly phoned 600 Ontario adults last May and 58% supported a merger. Be that as it may, a merging of the two publicly funded school systems isn’t going to happen anytime soon. Although, it does offer an interesting thought experiment. If it did happen, I’d look very...
