First you have no cited a body of evidence to demonstrate their specific untrustworthiness as a general rule compared to other countries.
Second, those religious belief exemptions present throughout many Western countries laws long ago and often utilized by "Religious Freedom!!!" zealots (mainly on the Right) to suppress gays and other groups in the name of Jesus.
In other words, our coddling of religious sensitivities is more a rule than an exception.
So presenting it in a discussion over a current event is misleading at best in evaluating recent evidence for "Why we shouldn't trust Canada on this matter".
Slave to the Patriarchy no more
