The case specifically wasn't a good step. This is giving religion additional powers and privileges compared to non-religious beliefs.

It said if you say that you don't eat meat because [any reason that doesn't involve a magical immortal being] they won't accommodate, but they would need to accommodate for religion.

Accommodate everyone, or accommodate no one.

That’s why more needs to be done

In Canada you’re free to have beliefs in private, not public

There shouldn’t be religious accommodations
