They won't because our politicians send a lot of their kids to these religious private schools.

Is this legit for the current government? It seems to go against their ideology.

@theteapixie @thetyee The current BC government is neoliberal & quite capitalist/lobbyist influenced - swayed from its centre left position. What they say & what they do doesn't align too well (loads of greenwashing/whitewashing). BC NDP is more Conservative than social democrat. They lean right.
RCMP CIRG was created under BC NDP, to protect private industry interests. It's a corporate mercenaries unit, basically. They received additional funding under Eby.
