Not sure what social studies course you took, but in Alberta public schools SS 03-30 had nothing to do with religion at all at least in the late 90's. The only thing that comes close are when we went through the history of Japan/ww2 and briefly went over how the emperor was considered a living god.
While I dont know alot of the specifics of Canadian law - there should be a separation of church and state. No province should be shoving religion down the throats of students - I dont care in what form or for what purpose.
Forcing them to take this course from grade 1 to 12 - only in QC.
There were religion courses taught, but your parents could choose that you opt out. The time spent drawing 60 minutes a week durring grades 2-6 - what memories
