I was able to follow the link. It is the Atlantic Jewish Congress that made the statement.

"I'm somewhat taken aback that the town councillors felt they had to legislate in this manner," Jon Goldberg, executive director of the Atlantic Jewish Congress, said in an interview with the Halifax Chronicle Herald on Thursday. "I can't help wondering what is next. Are they going to legislate that everyone has to go to church on Christmas Eve?" |
I thought they sounded familiar, and after doing some research it seems the AJC is one of the liberal Jewish groups which I absolutely despise - they pick the wrong fights, at the wrong times, for the wrong reasons.
If they have even the wierdest idea that something remotely Christian could influence them, they go bannanas. It's sick, especially since it's no different than anti-semetism, just instead of hate being directed at Jews they are directing their hate at Christians.
