    Mark Carney was at a national prayer breakfast, aka an event for praying in public, and quoted from Mark.
    Now, I will do the same:

    Mark 6:5-6:
    “And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full. But when you pray, go into your room, close the door and pray to your Father, who is unseen. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you."

      Mark Carney has a daily devotional each morning which is done in private. His public prayers are in alignment with Jesus’s teachings:

      Jesus also said: “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation.” — Mark 16:15 “You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.” — Matthew 5:14 “Let your light shine before others, so that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 5:16 “What I tell you in the dark, say in the light, and what you hear whispered, proclaim on the housetops.” — Matthew 10:27 “Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father who is in heaven.” — Matthew 10:32

      Still as a Canadian and as PM he should realize it’s inappropriate for him to engage in public prayer.

      Hopefully he steps down for this.

        Why would he step down for this if he didn’t step down for any of the terrible shit he’s done? Besides, who’s gunna oversee the government firing the next 12,000 federal employees?

        Mark Carney: A conservative in red, voted for by fools who were too scared of a conservative in blue to use even 1% of their brains.
