#3  Except there is no judicial creation doctrine of absolute separation of church and state in Canada. As noted in a previous day's posting of the Rant, the South Koreans have erected a Christmas Tree display on the DMZ. South Korea is not predominately Christian, but have adopted [as the Japanese] it as a consumer/business cultural holiday celebration.

#2  The ban was on public areas of Canadian federal buildings. The US has, I believe, has had such a ban for some years now. Sort of.

By giving minorities a veto over the majority?
That was the form of government for most of history till democracies came in vague around the start of the 19th Century. Now we're devolving back to the will of the few over the many, not derived by the consent of the governed but to alleviate 'feelings'.
