It only seems extreme because we live in a christo-fascist state.

Uh... Canada is christofascist? What? You have to be kidding me. That aside this is a welcome sign not Sharia law; this sort of "the state can't acknowledge religion ever" logic benefits no one and excludes people who don't fit the state ideal of Christianity/atheism—and that's the thing: A secular state shouldn't have an ideal when it comes to people's religious beliefs. It's just another way to indirectly assert nationalist beliefs and exclude minorities with a vague appeal to secularism to make it more palatable.
