Opposition critics say Premier has given school run by prominent social-conservative supporter a fast-track to university status

Chris Young/The Canadian Press

“I’m not going to treat them differently than anybody else,” Mr. Ford said. “They’ve been around for 53 years, and they’re going to go through it [the process] and we’ll see what happens.”A day earlier, Mr. Ford had erroneously told reporters the school’s application process was completed. “Why, in the name of all that is decent, would this minister validate the hateful, vicious, racist and homophobic rhetoric of Charles McVety by extending the reach of his Canada Christian College?” she told Question Period.

Bill 213, introduced Oct. 6 and debated this week, is mostly a grab-bag of small changes to a variety of laws. But it would also grant university status or expanded degree-granting powers to three private, religious postsecondary institutions: Redeemer University in Hamilton, Tyndale University in Toronto, and Mr. McVety’s Canada Christian College and School of Graduate Theological Studies, in Whitby, Ont., east of Toronto.
