In November 2017, the then NDP government in Alberta passed legislation attempting to require Catholic schools in the province to accept homosexuality and premarital sex, and to ensure all students had the opportunity to join gay-straight alliance clubs hosted within their schools. When outraged Catholic parents from Catholic schools protested that this was a violation of their Catholic school's right to teach Catholic values, they were told that it was unacceptable for them to do so. Non-Catholic Christian Schools were also informed that their right to teach Biblical Values was also at an end. Fast forward to our present day, in December 2024, the then Liberal Government of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau saw a recommendation brought forward to the House of Commons standing committee on finance to remove the phrase "advancement of religion" as a justification to enable an organization to be deemed a Charitable Entity. This raises the question if freedom of expression and belief is only to be allotted to those who prescribe to the current flavour.
