Article synopsis: Reflects on former Prime Minister Brian Mulroney’s Memoirs and how his faith was shaped attending St. Thomas College and St. Francis Xavier University (St. FX). The author further speaks how Moses Coady, a priest that founded St. FX's Coady International Institute, influenced Mulroney. The article ends with a discussion of Ontario provincial politics where John Tory promised to lessen public funding to secular and Catholic "public" schools, but to extend to other faith-based elementary and secondary institutions including those from the Protestant, Muslim, Jewish, and Sikh communities.
