Quebec court orders mayor to cease praying at meetings, remove crucifix 
March 02, 2011
A Quebec rights tribunal has ordered Mayor Jean Tremblay of Saguenay, a city of 145,000, to ceasing praying at city council meetings and to remove a crucifix and image of the Sacred Heart from council rooms. "I didn't go into politics just to do accounting. I went into politics to made society advance, and a society advances as long as it's supported by values," said the mayor, who plans to appeal the order. "A serious problem we've got in today's society is that we've abandoned our values. That's why things are going so badly."
