Has the Canadian government just seized control of religious groups there?

I’m not a lawyer, and I’m certainly not a Canadian lawyer.  Heck, I don’t even play one on television.

Michael Davidson, though, has brought to my notice a very recent Canadian legal decision (dated 8 September 2016) that seems to indicate that government courts in Canada have the right to review (and, if so inclined, to overturn) the decisions of ecclesiastical courts.

He also points out to me a comment by the excommunicated former Latter-day Saint Kate Kelly, in which she suggests — jokingly, I hope — that the excommunicated former Latter-day Saint John Dehlin might consider using this case as a precedent for bringing action against the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints “just to mess with them.”

O Canada.

Perhaps a lawyer out there might be able to show me how to read this otherwise, but it seems to me that a Canadian court has just declared that judges in our neighbor to the north will have the final say on religious and ecclesiastical decisions under their now considerably-augmented jurisdiction.
