Can we assume you voted for John Tory when he lead the Progressive Conservatives? It was his platform, and proved quite unpopular.At least give partial vouchers to those who wish to opt out
Many families could throw in a couple thousand to top up private costs but cannot afford to pay the full costs, after all they would be paying twice for an education, once through taxes then again through tuition
Its not public education funds. Its money taken from citizens through taxes. Using vouchers allows them to get some of their own money backEducational aspects aside, I don't like the divisive nature of private schools that cater to specific clientele and I don't like the idea of public education funds going to support schools that are private companies (for profit?).
Last I checked, tax dollars are public funds and when I look at my municipal taxes, it describes an amount specifically for education. Do you also advocate people intentionally hurting themselves to get some of the public health care dollars back?Its not public education funds. Its money taken from citizens through taxes.

I would advocate that people who take care of themselves and don't burden the public health care system should get some of their tax money back.Last I checked, tax dollars are public funds and when I look at my municipal taxes, it describes an amount specifically for education.

Should people who walk to work get their tax dollars back for the road maintenance and public transit they don't use? Should people who don't call the police and handle their own security get money back? Should people in small towns get back all the money spent on cities? Maybe people who don't work for the government should get those tax dollars too.I would advocate that people who take care of themselves and don't burden the public health care system should get some of their tax money back.
Silly me, I thought taking good care of your health is a good idea and should be rewarded.Should people who walk to work get their tax dollars back for the road maintenance and public transit they don't use?

Seems what you are advocating for is the dissolution of the government (or at least that they only spend public money on things that help you).
Great concept! But before we can hand out prizes for being ordinarily good, we need to have the funds to do the good, ordinary stuff. Like keep our roads, sewers and water systems up to date (failing in all three so far) as well as frills like policing, education, healthcare and keeping the poor off the streets. Our current federal government could only manage it (after eight years of trying) by extortionate measures like shortchanging veterans. But you did get your/our money back if you procreated.I would advocate that people who take care of themselves and don't burden the public health care system should get some of their tax money back.
