Gotta love being in quebec then!
Around here the subject is certainly not taboo, first because everyone hs the same opinion: Young-earth creationist, with some variants to the gap theory, but still with supernatural creation.
Furthermore, since it is atheist country, there is no debate as to teach it in schools or anything. In fact, there is a single scientist who 'fights' creationism in the whole province lol. And one creationist organizations with only two speakers. Any time there is a debate, it is between the said scientist and one of those two hehe.
We discuss it regularly I would guess, even past sunday there was a short 10min video of a debate on the subject in front of the whole church, and since I'm pretty up-to-date in the subject, they sometimes ask me to go and talk about it in the teenager's classes at sunday school.
As for teaching apologetics, we are in fact have a 2h30 apologetics course at church every week with the teacher being a PhD in theology professor at a nearby university.
So I would guess that my fellow christians at my local church here could probably have better arguments to defend the christian worldview, all of it.
