Disappointing:  globeandmail.com: Creationism raised as Ont. election issue.

TORONTO — Publicly-funded religious schools would be allowed to teach creationism and other theories, says Progressive Conservative Leader John Tory.
Speaking to reporters at the a Jewish day school in Thornhill, Ont., on Wednesday, Mr. Tory defended his plan to bring Jewish, Islamic and other religious schools into the public education system.
“They teach evolution in the Ontario curriculum, but they also could teach the fact to the children that there are other theories that people have out there that are part of some Christian beliefs,” Mr. Tory said at the Kamin Education Centre.

While I could understand him supporting creationism within a course of religious instruction, the linking of ID or creationism to evolution in a science curriculum should cost Tory the election.

Update:  He clarifies:

In clarifying his remarks yesterday, Mr. Tory said: "The Ontario
curriculum teaches evolution and that is the curriculum that would have
to be taught in the faith-based and all other schools that receive
public funding. There are other theories that can be taught as part of
religious instruction … But the curriculum is the curriculum."

I’ll take it at face value.  I suspect that this is just a gaffe, rooted in some eagerness to pander a bit to his religious voters, and he spoke without thinking.
