Secularism helps make Canada great

Re: “Policy-makers must consider newcomers’ religious needs” (Opinion, Aug. 26)

Tim Harbison writes, “What we need to recognize and address as a host country is that the vast majority of the rest of the world is not secular.”

What all potential immigrants to this country need to recognize is that Canada is a secular country. If this is unacceptable or inconvenient, they should feel free not to immigrate to our great country.

Canada consistently ranks among the best countries in which to live. Secularism is part of the reason why. Jack Noodelman, Montreal
