Breaking the provincial education monopoly

Don't let the name fool you. Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy is a nascent Catholic post-secondary university located way up in Barry's Bay, near Algonquin Park. We wish this new institution well as it attempts to educate its students in the classical liberal arts "with a special emphasis on the Tradition of the Catholic Church." One observation and one question are in order. First, I note an absence of courses in politics. One hopes these will be added as the institution grows. Second, is the Michael O'Brien listed as adjunct faculty the same Michael O'Brien who authored the Father Elijah books? Combermere's proximity to Barry's Bay makes this seem likely.
