OOC: Imagine Canada being as anti-Catholic as pre Troubles Northern Ireland, and had some of this OTL when Britain still controlled its foreign policy.
Canada has long been known for its antipathy towards Catholics. The Pope visited last year, but he had to leave the country after a man threw a brick that missed him in a mass demonstration by a "King Billy" society. Although nominally a parliamentary democracy, the primarily Catholic Quebecois are systematically disenfranchised as French is frowned upon due to being "Popery" and the Canadian Constitution states that Catholics cannot serve in Parliament(citing the 1688 Bill of Rights). The United States, in comparison, is far more socially liberal(OOC: ). In OTL, there was once an atheist chosen to serve the remainder of a President's term after a President resigned(OOC:a Gerald Ford scenario of sorts), and the current President, Mariana Torres, is a bilingual Catholic with a mother from Venezuela and nobody cares. My goal is for an alternate universe where Canada is tolerant and does not flinch at the idea at the idea of the U.S. President doing rosaries.
