Actually, what our current government is pushing for is a dual education system. By making public education so appalling they are forcing more and more families to choose home schooling or private schools as an option. These families will still pay the same amount of taxes plus pay out of pocket for additional services. The government will continue to piss away the extra money without improving the public school system for those without other options.

The current provincial government showed a $1.7 billion surplus in the 2004/5 fiscal year but will not allocate a sufficient amount of money to improve our limping education system. Instead they offer tax breaks to their big-business cronies.

Prior to the last election they 'set the example of fical responsibility' and took a 5% pay cut, only to turn around right after the election and give themselves a 10% raise! This doesn't include their salary bonuses. I simply don't think it's a fair arguement when they say that they don't have the money to improve the system and everyone needs to tighten their belts for the good of the province when they can't live by the same credence.
