But here in Canada, we're trying harder. We have a police chief in Winnipeg who thinks the solution to crime in his city is to pray a lot.
The embarrassing thing is not that there are people who hold such beliefs. The embarrassing thing is that we vote for such people, or appoint them to positions of power.

Maybe he's right. It's like Homer Simpson's safety meetings at work. If nobody works, nobody gets hurt. So, if everyone is praying, then there won't be any crime. Right :)?

I'll call your a police chief in Winnipeg and raise you Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Let me highlight a few things that demonstrate how you twisted the police chief's words. (Or, let me pin most of the blame on the Friendly Ambigram Atheist.)

But the police chief said:
"I truly believe that prayer will be a significant piece of that." ...
“What would happen if we all just truly — I’m talking about all religious stripes here — started praying for the peace of this city and then actually started putting some action behind that?”
Miranda: I can do nothing more than to suggest once ore that you improve your reading comprehension.
How about chiropractor and creationist Gary Goodyear as Canada's minister for Science and Technology?
Exactly. You can do no more of substance, so you resort to silliness.
