Yeah but that is simply stating what Canada was founded upon, you can't change history, so they can't change that.

Yes, but this is from the Charter, which came into effect in 1982, not the Constitution Act of 1867. Note that it says Canada
is founded upon principles that recognize the supremacy of God", not Canada
was founded...
The Canadian Constitution, of which the Charter is an important part, provides the foundation for all laws in Canada, not the "supremacy of God". That line is also clearly at odds with the freedom of conscience and religion granted in Section 2.
