I'd be interested to know the source for that. I was born in Montreal and lived in Canada for thirty years. There are numerous Christian radio stations that discuss the Bible and play Christian music. When I was growing up, stores were closed for the Sabbath, although that is no longer the case, same as here.
You may be referring to the publicly owned CBC radio/TV network (similar to PBS). I wouldn't be surprised if they don't broadcast regular Sunday Christian services as a matter of policy since they would then be obligated to give time to other religions as well.
However, the CBC covers Christian funerals just as they would the funeral of anyone who warrants national coverage, including live coverage of services from inside church. They also cover religious topics in general in talk shows and other formats as it pertains to the historical and societal influence of religions. If they were doing a segment on Christianity and homosexuality, it would be appropriate to quote Scripture.
Canada is fundamentally a Christian nation, but it strives to maintain the same separation of church and state as in the U.S. It's built into their Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Are you sure about that?

Here we have someone commenting on how things have gone in Canada on this subject.

They predict we (like Canada has done) will soon find ourselves treated to new "heresy trials" where Christians are exemplified as pariah for holding to certain Bible teachings as if the Bible was "true" on that point.
