I was just taking a peruse through section 2a of the charter(as one does on a Monday morning with a hot coffee) and found this interesting.

The scope of section 2(a) is not, however, without limits. In Ktunaxa, supra, at paragraphs 71-72, a majority of the Supreme Court held that an Indigenous spiritual freedom claim to the protection of a sacred mountain valley site from a proposed ski resort development did not fall within the scope of section 2(a), which does not protect the object of beliefs or the spiritual focal point of worship and the subjective meaning derived from them.

Is this essentially ruling that something like wearing a cross has no charter protections? Or would it only be the public display of? So you can wear a hidden cross, but not openly display it.
