text: The headline is misleading - there is NO ban.  Residents adjacent to the proposed site were informed of the re-zoning application, and a slim majority voted against having a cemetery for a neighbour.  As for the claim that religious freedom is about freedom, do consider the recent guilty verdict for Winston Blackmore of Bountiful, B.C. He acted as if he were a bishop of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints -- a church which renounced polygamy in the late 1800s. At Bountiful, the sect practised polygamy. Mr. Blackmore married 24 wives over 25 years and had 145 children. Did he collect Canada's child benefit payments for each? Did he declare 24 wives + 145 children as dependents on his tax return?  He also helped to groom young girls for obedience and marriage to selected older men on both sides of the border. Surely, the Charter should not support child-trafficking and male egos in the guise of religion. Gender equality must over-ride, or replace religious freedom.
