It is a fantastic primer for the political, social, legal, and economic landscape of Canada's unique provincial education systems. This book is written with an almost forensic attention to detail but is engaging and wise in the conclusions it draws. - Beth Green, Provost and Chief Academic Officer, Tyndale University This is a deeply informative analysis of a little-understood policy area. The varying approaches to funding religion-based schools across the country reveal much about the role of faith in Canadian politics and of neoliberal notions of parental choice. Farney and Banack present textured historical surveys revealing surprising detail about policy evolution and intriguing explanations of contrasts across provinces. - David Rayside, FRSC, Professor Emeritus of Political Science, University of Toronto Author InformationJames Farney is the Regina academic director and an associate professor in the Johnson Shoyama Graduate School of Public Policy at the University of Regina. Clark Banack is the director of the Alberta Centre for Sustainable Rural Communities and an adjunct professor of political studies at the Augustana campus of the University of Alberta.
