Jews, Christians etc whoever lives in a Muslim nation gets judged by their own laws, not Islamic laws. Islamic Sharia law applies only to Muslims.
Allah :swt: says:
[They are] avid listeners to falsehood, devourers of [what is] unlawful. So if they come to you, [O Muhammad], judge between them or turn away from them. And if you turn away from them - never will they harm you at all. And if you judge, judge between them with justice. Indeed, Allah loves those who act justly. [5:42]
But how is it that they come to you for judgement while they have the Torah, in which is the judgement of Allah ? Then they turn away, [even] after that; but those are not [in fact] believers. [5:43]
Indeed, We sent down the Torah, in which was guidance and light. The prophets who submitted [to Allah ] judged by it for the Jews, as did the rabbis and scholars by that with which they were entrusted of the Scripture of Allah , and they were witnesses thereto. So do not fear the people but fear Me, and do not exchange My verses for a small price.
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the disbelievers. [5:44]
And We ordained for them therein a life for a life, an eye for an eye, a nose for a nose, an ear for an ear, a tooth for a tooth, and for wounds is legal retribution. But whoever gives [up his right as] charity, it is an expiation for him.
And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the wrongdoers. [5:45]
And We sent, following in their footsteps, Jesus, the son of Mary, confirming that which came before him in the Torah; and We gave him the Gospel, in which was guidance and light and confirming that which preceded it of the Torah as guidance and instruction for the righteous. [5:46]
And let the People of the Gospel judge by what Allah has revealed therein. And whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed - then it is those who are the defiantly disobedient. [
5:47]
Canadian / American / European laws are man-made laws. If you are really a Christian

, then you must follow the laws revealed in Injeel. Allah :swt: says in the above verses that whoever does not judge by what Allah has revealed, they are disbelievers, wrongdoers and defiantly disobedient.
