Religious Freedom In Retreat: Canada’s Courts Versus Physicians’ Liberties

The advance of progressive ideology is leading to the retreat of religious freedom in Canada. Last year, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that Trinity Western University, a Christian institution in British Columbia, could be denied accreditation of its law school simply because students would be required to live according to Christian sexual morality (i.e., sex permitted only within a heterosexual marriage). This was seen as a “no gays allowed” rule and such apparent bigotry could not be permitted in a Canadian law school.
