Federal Budget and Extreme Weather

extreme weather: They listened to some predictions about the Atlantic economy and heard all about the success of the Emera Oval . They strategized about how to get their issues on the various party platforms in the looming federal election, according to The Chronicle Herald. One thing they did not, as a group, do was close their eyes and speak as one to a higher power. They talked about the impact of the recent federal budget and fretted about the extreme weather that pasted the region this past winter. In between sessions over coffee and tea the mayors did talk about prayer a little. Last week, you may recall, the Supreme Court of Canada unanimously ruled in favour of atheist Alain Simoneau and a secular-rights organization, saying that Catholic prayer at council meetings in Saguenay, Que., infringed on their freedom of conscience and religion. But they are law-abiding servants of the people, so that was the extent of it. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
