Cont’d from Pg 2<br />
This means we’ll need to lay to rest<br />
the mistaken notion that secularism is<br />
neutral. It is not. There’s nothing neutral,<br />
for example, in Quebec’s attempt<br />
to ban government and governmentaffiliated<br />
employees from wearing<br />
religious symbols. Forcing people to<br />
privatize their faith in order to<br />
advance secularism, which is also a<br />
system of belief with its own creeds<br />
and rituals, undermines deep<br />
pluralism.<br />
New acting<br />
commander<br />
introduced<br />
Cont’d from Pg 3<br />
During her presentation Cornelssen<br />
stated the interim budget was “just a<br />
formality” but one that needed to be<br />
approved by Dec. 31 to ensure the<br />
county can continue conducting business.<br />
She further clarified the full <strong>2023</strong><br />
budget remains in the development<br />
stage.<br />
Cornelssen stated the interim<br />
budget was, essentially, the 2022<br />
budget with a new name.<br />
RCMP commander<br />
Council was introduced to Stettler<br />
RCMP detachment acting commander<br />
S/Sgt. Jon England. He stated he was<br />
filling in for detachment commander<br />
S/Sgt. Bruce Holliday, who is away.<br />
England stated he’s been told that he<br />
will be in charge of the Stettler detachment<br />
for three months while Holliday<br />
is away but that’s probably an RCMP<br />
term for “they don’t know how long it<br />
will be” said England.<br />
“It’s likely going to be longer,” said<br />
England. “I would anticipate six<br />
months to possibly a year.” The staff<br />
sergeant added that he didn’t know if<br />
he would be the acting commander for<br />
that entire time.<br />
Coun. James Nibourg asked that<br />
council move into closed session to discuss<br />
private issue with England that<br />
council had previously discussed with<br />
Holliday.<br />
Councillors were in the private session<br />
with England for about 14 minutes<br />
before the meeting was re-opened to<br />
the public.<br />

Neither can we pretend<br />
that all faiths essentially<br />
teach the same things,<br />
which our survey suggests<br />
63 per cent of Canadians<br />
believe. Despite some possible<br />
overlap in morality or<br />
ethics, faiths differ in very<br />
significant ways. For<br />
example, apart from their<br />
belief in the oneness of God,<br />
Jews and Muslims believe<br />
something very different<br />
from Christians when it<br />
comes to who Jesus Christ<br />
is.<br />
So, we’ll need to learn to<br />
navigate differences. A<br />
deeply pluralist Canada<br />
makes room for and<br />

ignore Canada’s faith communities.<br />
Let’s learn from<br />
them instead.<br />
