At least McGuinty has his priorities straight. There is no more waste to clean up to slay the deficit so the government will have to spend less on salaries.

Oh wait, what is that hiding over there under that rock? Four school systems serving overlapping jurisdictions -- two of them sectarian Catholic systems? That can't be wasteful, can it?

But it really doesn’t matter that the massive duplication in the education sector is wasteful and expensive – Catholic education is more important than just about anything else. How else are those Catholic kids going to learn about God if 90% of their families don’t even go to Church? Catholic education is therefore not on the block – while funding for health care, quality education, social services, infrastructure, and civil service salaries will all take a hit instead.

Yes, McGuinty has his priorities straight. An awful lot will have to go to hell in a handbag before he touches Catholic schools.
