Right now, does the American or Canadian government fund abortion?We Answered:
It's illegal in the US for federal funds to be used to fund abortions. The same is not true for state taxes, which in part pay for Medicaid, under which abortions are provided; so yes, a very small percentage of your parents' taxes are being used.George Said:

If I were to write a letter to a Canadian government official complaining about lack of funding to charities..?We Answered:
Are you allowed to do that in Canada? I have read about so many restrictions on free speech, you can't even read from the bible in Canada. How could you complain to one of the commissars?Rita Said:
Does the Canadian government fund religious schools?We Answered:
Each province deals differently with private religious schools. In Ontario the Catholic system continues to be fully publicly funded, but other faiths receive no such funding. Ontario has several private Jewish, Muslim, and Christian schools, but all are funded through tuition fees. Since the Catholic schools system is entrenched in the constitution, the Supreme Court has ruled that this system is not unconstitutional. However, the United Nations has ruled that Ontario's system is unfair[9]. In 2002 the government of Mike Harris introduced a controversial program to partially fund all private schools, but this was criticized for undermining the public education system and the program was eliminated after the Liberals won the 2003 provincial election.In other provinces privately operated religious schools are funded. In British Columbia the government pays 50% of the cost of religious schools that meet rigorous provincial standards. The province has a number of Sikh, Hindu, Christian, and Muslim schools. Alberta also has a network of charter schools, which are fully funded schools offering distinct approaches to education within the public school system. Alberta charter schools are not private and the province does not grant charters to religious schools. These schools have to follow the provincial curriculum and meet all standards, but are given considerable freedom in other areas. In all other provinces private religious schools receive some funding, but not as much as the public system.
An example of how schools can be divided by religions in Toronto, the Toronto Catholic District School Board, and Toronto District School Board.

The Honourable Madeleine Meilleur,
Minister of Community and Social Services

Is it moral for the Canadian government to fund Catholic schools, and not other denominations?We Answered:
Catholic schools are education ministries of the Roman Catholic Church. These schools aim to develop their students through participation in the sacramental life of the Church, study of religion and theology, a full curriculum in secular subjects, and a variety of extracurricular activities. Catholic schools are found in almost every country of the world and have often been the only schools in some parts of the world.Religion is included in the learning experience, and school uniforms are often a requirement for students. While it is common for Catholic schools to require non-Catholic students to take Catholic religion classes and attend the various religious exercises of the school (except in Muslim nations where this is prohibited by law), a requirement that the student must be Catholic to attend a Catholic school is rare.
