ETA. The town has a population of less than 4,800. And a religious breakdown that looks like this:

Protestant: 59.0%
Catholic: 26.1%
Other Christian: 3.6%
Other religions: 0%
No religious affiliation: 11.2%

Because Canada is so huge (we're the 2nd largest country in the world, by land mass) but has such a relatively small population (34.6 million approx, population density of around 3.5 per square km) we have a lot of tiny towns like this. Mostly with an aging, white, protestant, anglophone population. This is the sort of shit you run into in these towns. It's unfortunate, but that's the nature of the beast when it lives in relative isolation from people who aren't like them.
