Cheers to the Downtown Business Association for having the outdoor markets, and to the Estevan Farmers’ Market Association for its first market of the season. It was good to see people at both. Hopefully they will be supported throughout the year. Cheers to Estevan city council for their decision to not place benches promoting Pro Life Estevan and Area in city parks. The Supreme Court of Canada has ruled it is the state’s duty to protect every person’s freedom of conscience and religion and that it may not use its powers in such a way as to promote the participation of certain believers or non-believers in public life to the detriment of others.
