That is PRECISELY the reason why things were looped to the Charter rather than an introduction of a bill. We are indeed socially too liberal, which is why there is such a division between newer Canadians and those of us who have been here for two or more generations. The whole "multiculturalism" issue has caused greater issues and gaps between generations than ever before. Today, it is almost sinful to be Christian while minority religions are celebrated. Catholics are lucky though because they have a separate school system. I feel sorry for non-Catholic Christians in public schools who are almost forced to hide their faith.

Is there really such a division - many newer Canadians I know are social liberal... (perhaps a birds of a feather flock together effect) - especially those from Europe or South America...
I disagree with your last statement about being Christian in society ... where I have been Christianity flourishs. As for the Catholic school thing... I'll start a new topic on that.
