I'm glad to see our report on unconstitutional prayer in #Ontario municipal council meetings making headlines!

“True neutrality doesn’t grant privilege to religious or non-religious views, it remains silent on the issue, and that’s one of the ways you can make sure everyone is included.”

This kind of content has no place in municipal council meetings, that should be welcoming to all, regardless of belief or lack thereof!

Governments in #CdnPoli have a duty of religious neutrality, and #OntarioPoli municipalities are in violation of this duty.
