In comparison, the cost of educating a child in a private school worked out to just $9,709 for the same year. This means that public school costs are 75% higher than private schools However, public schools also serve a disproportionately higher number of children with disabilities, once that was factored in, JustFacts estimated that the public schools’ costs were just 58% higher than private schools. JustFacts added that these calculations are in line with a similar study conducted by the Federal Department of Education (DOE) in 1995. Its study determined that the average cost for educating a child in private schools in the 1991-92 school year, worked out to between $3,350-$3,600 per student compared to …

Canadian Prime Minister Justin-Trudeau

Federal court ruled that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s imposition of the Emergencies Act was illegal

Published by

A Canadian federal court has just ruled that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s reckless decision to invoke the country’s Emergencies Act during the 2022 trucker protests was illegal and unjustified, the National Post reports. Canada’s Emergencies Act is intended for serious threats such as espionage, terrorism, or the potential overthrow of the government, said Justice Mosley who oversaw the case. The judge added that though the protest, which included blockages at Canada’s international border with the US, caused economic hardship, it did not rise anywhere near the level of a national emergency required by Canadian law. The judge added that the invoking of the Emergencies Act violated the rights of Canadians guaranteed under the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Trudeau used the dictatorial powers given him under the act to seize the bank accounts of those allegedly involved in the protests and to force truck towing companies to remove trucks that were participating in the protests. The Canadian Constitutional Foundation, along with several civil liberties groups, took the Trudeau government to court over the invoking …

LA Times’ editor begs Californians not to criticize failed liberal policies as they flee the state

Published by

Fox News is reporting on a bizarre op-ed entitled, “Commentary: If you want to leave, fine. But don’t insult California on the way out.”, written by the LA Times‘ letter’s editor, Paul Thornton. In his article, he begged those fleeing California not to criticize the state as they were leaving. “To the people leaving California: May the road rise to meet you as you seek better lives in new places. Now, can you please extend some goodwill to those of us who remain?” Thornton wrote in his article published on Sat. Jan. 20, 2024. The article shows how real the exodus has been in the state, as Thornton spoke of family members who were among those who abandoned the state. “More than 800,000 Californians moved away in 2022, and many thousands more left last year. Often, the departees, cash in hand from the sale of their $1-million bungalows, feel the need to express disdain for their home state, and even some anger too,” Thornton wrote. He noted that even his relative who fled California was asked …
