Whatcott commentary and update: Canada is no longer free. We lost it. The ship has sailed.

Pastor Art Pawlowski arrested by Calgary Police, May 8, 2021 for the “crime” of holding church and refusing to turn away worshippers during our so-called Wuhan virus pandemic. It is worth noting that in close to a year and a half, Pastor Art’s church has operated at full capacity, with no physical distancing and no mask wearing, yet there is not one single Wuhan virus death attached to his ministry. Alberta Health Services on the other hand is responsible for many deaths related to their lockdown, but the media will never talk about that.

Dear Friends,

Yesterday, I went to the Whistle Stop Cafe to lend my support to owner and protest organizer Chris Scott and the other supporters of freedom who were gathered there to resist the pseudo scientific tyranny being imposed on us. I would estimate a thousand or so people were in attendance, which for me is quite encouraging, given Mirror, AB is a small village that is literally in the middle of nowhere. And it was a cold, rainy day and the Alberta government was threatening people with $2000 fines if they dared to come to the protest. Premier Kenny also threatened potential protesters with permanent driver’s license suspensions if they refused to pay the $2000 Wuhan virus fines. Yet, literally a thousand or so people came out and demanded an end to the Alberta government’s destructive lockdown.

While at the Whistle Stop, I was blessed to be served a delicious Beef Brisket sandwich by Adam Skelly, of Adamson Barbecue fame. Adamson BBQ was forcibly shut down by 200 Toronto Police Officers, some of them on horseback, ostensibly in order to keep Toronto safe from the Wuhan virus. It is worth noting that while Mayor Tory was deploying massive police resources to insure Toronto’s adults could not purchase Adam’s delicious beef briskets, Torontonions were allowed to stand in line ups to buy the lesser quality, mass produced, briskets at the Costcos that remained open in Toronto.

While I was at the Whistle Stop rally, I received the news Pastor Art Pawlowski and his brother Dawid were arrested for holding a church service in Calgary. As of now both men are being held in the Calgary Remand Centre. Please pray for them and for the state of our country.

I tried to post on a Calgary Herald story covering Pastor Art’s arrest in defence of Pastor Art’s ministry and tried to show the lockdown is irrational and harmful, but as it is with all large media and social media platforms it seems debate that is critical of our unelected public health czars is deleted. Judge for yourself if my comments violated the Calgary Herald’s “community guidelines” or wether they promoted so-called “misinformation.”

Lots of nasty comments were allowed by the Calgary Herald story that were critical and derogatory of Christians, but reminding people of the nutty and inconsistent comments/actions of our Public Health czars gets your comments promptly deleted.

Anyways, please pray for Pastor Art Pawlowski, Pastor James Coates and Dawid. They are suffering unjustly. The lockdown of churches and destruction of small businesses and isolation of people from friends and families is completely unjustified. South Dakota never locked down their churches for a single day nor has the state’s governor destroyed her small businesses. My friend who lives in North Dakota and regularly travels to South Dakota reports there are no bodies lying in the streets of either state, nor is South Dakota’s health care system collapsing from Wuhan virus sickness. Outside forces and the national media tried hard to push South Dakota into a lockdown and forced mask wearing for her citizens and they failed. The evidence is clear when one looks at South Dakota’s approach vs Alberta’s approach to the Wuhan virus that such draconian violations of our civil and religious liberties cause financial and psychological distress, but don’t actually yield as much benefit as the Public Health Doctors would have you think in the way of saving citizens from the Wuhan virus.

It is hard for me to fathom that Canada has now joined the former Soviet Union and present day China as nations where Pastors are imprisoned for ministering the Gospel to their flocks.

As for other news. One might remember I advocated homosexual parade attendees changing their sexual behaviours to protect people from serious communicable diseases such as HIV, HPV of the rectum, and anal cancer. I would argue from the point of view of mortality and morbidity, HIV is more serious than the Wuhan Virus. The measures I advocated (keeping one’s pants up and abstaining from sodomy) was certainly less onerous than Bonnie Henry’s and Deena Hinshaw’s advocacy for closing all businesses, churches, separating friends and families, and forcing healthy people into face diapers.

While Bonnie Henry and Deena Hinshaw make over $350,000 per year (that was their predecessor’s salaries), but I note the BC and Alberta Premiers think we the taxpayers have no right to know the current Chief Public Health doctor’s salaries and bonuses; even as they croon “we are all in it together.” These top “Doctors,” while handsomely lining their pockets advocate for the destruction of livelihoods, the isolation of the elderly and everyone else, and huge fines for those of us who don’t want to wear their sacred face diapers or stay home in perpetual fear of their much hyped virus. I on the other hand never charged the taxpayer a penny for my public and spiritual health literature at the Toronto Homosexual Pride parade in 2016.

While a reasonable person could certainly argue Bonnie Henry’s and Deena Hinshaw’s advocated restrictions on millions of healthy people have caused widespread death (suicides, overdoses, delayed lifesaving surgeries, etc) and despair (weight gain, isolation, depression, unemployment) in the name of fighting the Wuhan virus; even if homosexuals accepted my advice on abstaining from sodomy, their lives and livelihoods would have remained intact had they listened to me. Indeed their physical and psychological health outcomes would have definitely improved, as they would have avoided the behaviours that put them at risk of so many deadly and debilitating viruses.

Yet, unlike Bonnie Henry and Deena Hinshaw who are looking forward to comfy retirements, with defined benefit pensions and perks that we are not entitled to know about; me for my public health efforts have to look forward to a “hate crime” charge and a 3 day preliminary trial on June 9, 10, 11th, and my actual trial remains scheduled to take place on October 4th and is expected to last a month.

While multiple criminal cases have been dropped in Toronto over the past year and thousands of criminals have been released from Ontario’s prisons in the name of fighting the Wuhan virus, the Crown Prosecutor for my case is adamant that my now 5 year old public and spiritual health ministry at the Toronto Homosexual Pride parade is such a serious “hate crime” that my trial will go ahead and if a conviction is secured, there will be room in an Ontario prison to keep me confined for 18 months, Wuhan virus or no Wuhan virus.

Such is the state of Canada now, so please remember me in your prayers as you remember Pastor Art, his brother Dawid, Pastor James Coates, and Chris Scott in your prayers as well.

In Christ’s Service, Bill Whatcott

No injunction to save Christmas, but court action continues

No injunction to save Christmas, but court action continues

Dec 21st, 2020

EDMONTON: The Justice Centre is reviewing a ruling from the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench, which denied a preliminary application for a temporary injunction to restore Charter rights and freedoms being denied by restrictions imposed by the Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) and Alberta Government.

The full hearing of the Justice Centre’s application will take place sometime in 2021. The date has not been set yet. The Court will be asked to consider fully all of the various harms which lockdowns have inflicted, and are inflicting, on Albertans. The CMOH and other government officials will be required to answer questions under oath, and to provide evidence to justify the violation of Charter freedoms to move, travel, associate, assemble and worship.

In December, the Justice Centre filed a court challenge to Orders made by the CMOH, including an injunction application seeking a temporary suspension of certain lockdown measures until the Court fully considers the case. The Justice Centre is representing two churches and two individuals, alongside Rath & Company, who represents another individual.

Among other things, the Justice Centre argued that the Court should lift restrictions that effectively outlaw friends and family from gathering at each other’s homes to celebrate Christmas, and the public health order that prohibits outdoor hockey and other gatherings. Under this Order, grandparents cannot visit their grandchildren, and immediate family cannot be together if they do not live in the same household.

Since March 16, 2020, Alberta’s Chief Medical Officer of Health (CMOH) has pronounced 42 public health orders that have violated constitutionally-protected rights and freedoms as guaranteed by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. At the heart of the case is a challenge to the constitutionality of Orders issued by one person without any consultation or review by the Alberta Legislature, contrary to the principles of democracy and the rule of law.

The latest CMOH Order declares illegal the celebration of Christmas among friends and family in a private home, restricts weddings and funerals to only 10 people, and completely prohibits all outdoor gatherings.

“On this application for a temporary injunction, the government was not required to demonstrate that its violation of Charter freedoms were justified. The fact the injunction was not granted does not mean the lockdown measures that violate people’s Charter rights are justified – that will be decided at the main hearing, to come in 2021,” states Justice Centre staff lawyer James Kitchen.

“The Court upheld the CMOH Orders simply by presuming that the Orders must be in the public interest. In regard to this application, the Court did not consider evidence as to whether the Orders actually are in the public interest or not. This, too, will be ruled on in 2021,” continues Mr. Kitchen.

“Dr. Deena Hinshaw swore and filed a cursory affidavit, with very little evidence in support of her opinions. Cross-examination prior to the injunction hearing was not possible, but will take place in 2021,” continues Mr. Kitchen.

“Justice Kirker agreed that Albertans are suffering irreparable harm – harm that cannot be remedied or compensated for – from the indoor and outdoor gathering restrictions imposed by the CMOH Order,” notes Mr. Kitchen.

EDMONTON — A conservative legal group is challenging new restrictions on gatherings in Alberta, saying they are a violation of Charter rights to assembly. The province implemented the group gathering restrictions this week as it faces record-breaking numbers of new COVID-19 cases.

The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, headed by lawyer John Carpay, has been involved in a number of high-profile cases over the years and has recently taken up a number of anti-COVID-restriction causes.

The Justice Centre is also representing Canada Galaxy Pageants, a beauty pageant for women and girls based in Toronto, against a new human rights complaint made by Jessica Yaniv, a transgender person.

“We’re publicly objecting to new restrictions on Charter freedom to associate,” said Carpay in an interview with the National Post.

As yet, they aren’t filing a lawsuit or anything of that nature — just raising objections.

On Monday, Dr. Deena Hinshaw, the province’s chief medical officer of health, announced private gatherings would be capped at 15 people in Edmonton and Calgary, in response to surges in COVID-19 cases that are putting a strain on the hospital system and leading to the deferral of surgeries and other medical services.

As of Thursday afternoon — before Hinshaw’s daily case update — there were 126 people in Alberta hospitals with COVID-19, 19 of them in ICU. There were 4,793 active cases, and 313 Albertans have died.

Carpay argues most of the deaths and severe cases were among the elderly — the average age of death is 82 — and therefore it’s difficult to justify the restrictions.

Carpay contends the order is based on “cases” of COVID-19, “including thousands of ‘cases’ among people who are not experiencing any symptoms or illness,” he said in a statement about the challenge. He argues today’s cases include completely healthy people who have a positive test, and he disputed the reliability of PCR testing.

Alberta Health Services says the National Microbiology Lab found Alberta’s tests to be 100 per cent accurate.

Hinshaw’s order says voluntary measures in Edmonton haven’t successfully brought the case counts down, necessitating more stringent steps.

Carpay sees it otherwise. “It’s a fundamental freedom that I have as a citizen to invite 16 or 20 people over to my house if I so choose, if we choose to associate with each other,” he said.

“Whether it’s six people or 10 people or 20 people, when the government tells you how many friends you’re allowed or not allowed to have over to your house, that is a very obvious and very direct infringement of freedom of association,” said Carpay.

In her media briefings, Hinshaw has repeatedly pointed out the majority of COVID spread in the province is because of private gatherings, and restrictions protect those who are vulnerable to the disease, as those who are less vulnerable can pass it on to elderly relatives, for example. She has said the current spike in cases is due to families gathering for Thanksgiving celebrations.

Hinshaw has also said the long-term effects of catching COVID-19, even among younger people who aren’t hospitalized, ventilated or dead, are not yet known

In a news release, Carpay said the disease hasn’t killed the early projections of 32,000 Albertans, so it’s not as deadly as initially claimed.
