It isn't the government giving out the Bibles (to those who come over to their table and ASK for one), it's a non-denominational organization called the Canadian Bible Society. To my knowledge, there is nothing restricting similar groups from handing non-christian scriptures, and with 3 books you can cover at least 95% of world religions. This is just about the government not wanting to promote the practice of religion. Loyalty to God is a threat to loyalty to a state that wants to play God.
