Keep in mind the vast majority in Canada still remain Catholic.

I think you mean plurality or relative majority. Just under 40% of Canadians have been baptized in the Catholic church, although how that translates into practicing/belief has never really been determined. The statistics are swayed by French Canada, with about 75% in Quebec and 50% in New Brunswick.  The rest of Canada is about 20-30%, Ontario is at 30%.

I think it is easier today for non-Catholics to get their children into the Catholic school board in Ontario. Sometimes there is an elitism associated with it, as it is not the lowest common denominator as the secular public school. I believe children can be exempt from certain religious education in the schools, and just stand silently for morning prayer. I don't really understand that however, if you want to go through the trouble of getting a child into the program then how could you demand they be excused from that portion.

No actually, The Supreme Court of Canada won't interpret any section that way.

 

You say that yet hate speech laws exist despite our wonderful charter.

 

You are also ignoring the possibility of the justice system becoming compromised overtime due to political appointments.
