Reviews

I wish this book had been available when I first arrived in Canada as a scholar of education. 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
