The best explanation I've seen so far is that now that the abortion issue was crushed by a conservative supreme court in the USA, the next thing they're trying to do is indoctrinate the youth, because church attendance is dwindling.

Of course, it doesn't take long for that bullshit to bleed into Canada.

It's time to double-down on the demand for free/cheap and secular education.
