Arguments over when the State should support the Church are becoming louder and louder in Canada. The issue at stake for hundreds of thousands of students in Ontario, Canada is whether or not their Catholic schools will continue to receive state funding.
Opponents of state funding for the Catholic school system say that the State should not confer any special benefits on any religious institution. The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has even seized on the campaign issue as a chance to try and end funding of Catholic schools altogether.
