The only reason you're saying private schools are a social conservative position is because Catholic schools would end up getting most of the private school money.
My opinion is that if a school wants to be private, they should find funding their own way. I don't have a problem with grants and such, or even small amounts of money being given out to help out, but the government should be looking after the public system first and foremost.
That being said I do think there should be a bigger push for better private schools.
As for health care, the two-tier system has been working great in many European countries. I think we can learn something about their style of delivery.
Again, Alberta is in unique position where if we manage the cards right we can run a pretty efficient system, but still spend quite a lot of money on public services.
