Wow. I didn't realize that sort of thing happened in Canada (religious extremists getting their way like that). I had always thought of Canada as very secular.
Laws and governments generally are secular. But, as stated, there are plenty of religious wingnuts all over the country.
Hopefully, these people are brought up on charges, the camp and church are shut down and never receive any government funding ever again, but I doubt it will happen.
Religion, and in particular Christianity, still hold a privileged place in society.
