Calgary Pastor Tim Stephens has been arrested, after months of encouraging church congregants to break public health rules.
Police said Stephens was arrested for organizing a church service on Sunday at Fairview Baptist Church in southeast Calgary, in violation of a Court of Queen’s Bench Order that requires organizers of events to comply with public health restrictions.
Stephens was proactively served a copy of the court order, which was obtained by Alberta Health Services, last week.
“The pastor acknowledged the injunction, but chose to move forward with today’s service, ignoring requirements for social distancing, mask wearing and reduced capacity limits for attendees,” police said in an emailed release. …

“We continue to ask those who may be considering organizing or participating in any outdoor events to ensure they are familiar with public health order requirements and to do their part to prevent further spread of the virus,” police said.
The church leader has previously been fined and ticketed for defying public health regulations by holding over-capacity gatherings and not enforcing mask use.
Churches are currently limited to a maximum occupancy of 15 people, in order to slow the spread of COVID-19 in Alberta. The province has the highest active case rate in the country, with more than 22,000 active cases.
“Restricting the church to 15 people — which essentially restricts the church from gathering — is against the will of Christ and against the conscience of many who desire to worship the Lord of glory according to his word,” Stephens wrote in a blog post following the updated restrictions earlier this month, added that he planned to continue to not follow safety precautions. …
Stephens said in the blog post that his church has seen no coronavirus transmission. CBC News has reached out to AHS to ask if any cases have been tied to the church.

A January inspection by Alberta Health Services at the church found only two of approximately 75 attendees were wearing masks, the pastor and church staff were unmasked and rows in the auditorium were full, with people sitting side-by-side in rows less than two metres apart.
The inspection also found that there was no cleaning or disinfecting of high-touch surfaces between services.
Alberta has seen increased enforcement against COVID-19 rule-breakers this month, after bringing in a new protocol to allow for a more coordinated response between police and health agencies for targeting those repeatedly not complying with health orders.
The War Against Christians & Dissidents Intensifies in Kim Jong Kenny’s Police State: Calgary Mayoralty Candidate Kevin J. Johnston Arrested for Attending END THE LOCKDOWN PROTEST
Police arrest Calgary mayoral candidate Kevin J. Johnston for attending illegal gathering
(Calgary Herald, May 15, 2021)
Police said in a news release Saturday evening officers arrested Johnston for attending an illegal public gathering against a provincial health order issued earlier this month. …
The illegal gathering took place Saturday morning, police said, though the service did not release details on the nature of the gathering and could not be immediately reached by Postmedia on Saturday evening.
On Friday, an Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench judge granted AHS the restraining order against Johnston, prohibiting him from a wide array of activities, including recording AHS officials, being within 100 metres of any AHS public health officer and uttering any threats against AHS employees.
The arrest Saturday was not under the recently granted restraining order, however. Johnston was arrested under a separate Court of Queen’s Bench Order obtained by Alberta Health Services on May 6, which applies to gatherings held in contravention of the public health orders.
“This order imposes compliance with public health restrictions on organizers of events, including masking, physical distancing and attendance limits,” police said in Saturday’s statement.
Welcome to North Korea in Western Canada: Calgary judge refuses to overturn anti-free speech restraining order
[If you’ve never been to North Korea, just jump on plane to Edmonton or Calgary and experience life in Kim Jong Kenny’s Medico-Stalinist police state. There the Charter Rights of freedom of speech, freedom to practise one’s religion and freedom of assembly mean NOTHING! The corrupted courts won’t protect. you. A Calgary judge just turned down an application to stay a police state order. The order was obtained secretly, ex parte, with the lawyer for the named victims not informed. The order reads: “IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT:
1. The named respondents [Pastor Artur Pawlowski and restaurant owner Chris Scott] and any other persons acting under their instructions or in concert with them or independently [that means, in fact ALL Albertans] to like effect and with the Notice of this Order, shall be restrained anywhere in Alberta, shall be restrained from
a. Organizing an in-person gathering, including requesting. inciting or inviting others to attend an “Illegal Public Gathering” [that’s more than five people!]; b. Promoting an Illegal Public Gathering by social media or otherwise; “c. Attending an Illegal Public Gathering of any nature in a “Public Place” or in a “Private Place” [a birthday party of six people for granny in your OWN home] |
If you violate this police state order, you can be hauled off to jail for “contempt of court” as Pastor Pawlowski and Chris Scott were last weekend.] Paul Fromm,DirectorCAFE
A judge in Calgary has denied an application to have Alberta Health Services’ anti-free speech restraining order overturned. But the fight is just getting started, because now Fight The Fines lawyers are going to examine Alberta’s chief medical officer, Deena Hinshaw, in court.
Thursday morning, Chad Williamson of Williamson Law argued to have the injunction that prohibits his clients, Glen Carritt, Chris Scott and unnamed Jane and John Does, from participating in, organizing, or promoting “illegal public gatherings” that do not comply with the current restrictions: limiting such activities to five (or fewer) participants, masking and social distancing.
In essence, the order outlaws political protests of half a dozen or more outdoors, but could also see grandma end up in the slammer for contempt of court if she is the sixth person at a birthday party in the park.
The original order was obtained in secret after lawyers for AHS refused to inform Williamson Law of the order being sought against their clients.
The order restricts the interactions, free speech and free association of all Albertans and it does that under threat of imprisonment.
Two arrests have already occurred under the new court order.
One was Chris Scott of the Whistle Stop Cafe in Mirror. He was arrested after he holding a protest of 1,500 people adjacent to his property seized just days before by the province because he refused to abide by the lockdown on restaurants. He spent three days in jail.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski spent two days in jail after he was arrested in Calgary for holding a non-compliant church service.
Associate Chief Justice Rooke heard arguments but declined to stay the order, however he did agree to a full hearing on the matter — including a full examination of the decision makers who deemed the excessively broad court order necessary, like CMOH Deena Hinshaw and the AHS health inspector behind the constant visits to the Whistle Stop Cafe since Chris Scott made the decision to re-open in January.
We are going to fight to overturn this order like freedom and democracy depend on it. Because they do.
It’s going to be a lot of hard work, and it’s going to be expensive, but it’s worth it, because it is the right of every Albertan to criticize the government.
Support Pastor Hildbrandt’s Freedom of Speech & Worship
On Friday, Pastor Hildebrandt’s Church of God in Aylmer was seized by the government and locked down, with hefty fines being issued. Following a Court order closing the Church of God earlier in the day and allegedly for reasons of ‘public safety’, armed agents of the government wearing bullet proof vests descended upon the peaceful congregation gathered at the Church, a significant portion of whom were women and children.
This is, of course, for their own good. We all know you can safely gather and rally to oppose policies in Columbia, to support the Palestinian cause, or to support Black Lives Matter. But you’ll be charged and shut down if you gather to protest domestic policies in Ontario, or simply to pray.
This Sunday, May 16th at 10:30, Pastor Hildebrandt will be hosting a service at 10:30am on the lawn of his Church. I encourage anyone of like-mind to join their peaceful resistance by sharing in worship with them on Sunday.
We must support each other if we are going to correct these injustices; if you oppose these lockdowns, you must add your voice with others in peaceful defiance of their unjust orders.

[Some groups just don’t get freedom of expression. Ideas contrary to theirs must be stifled by state control. Some eccentric landowner in Breton, Alberta is flying a Hitler Youth Flag and a Confederate Flag on his property. Perhaps, he’s a history buff. It’s his property. However, the meddling friends of the Simon Wiesenthal Centre in far off Toronto have scuttled off to the RCMP demanding they DO something. ““We urge police to investigate this incident as a hate crime.” [Lethbridge News, May 11, 2021] But, it isn’t a crime. It’s somebody’s expression on their own property of their own views. Canada would be a much healthier country if pushy special interest groups minded their own business.]
Jewish group “extremely disturbed” by reports of Hitler Youth flags in Alberta towns
May 11, 2021 | 3:18 PM
BRETON, AB– A prominent Jewish organization says it is “extremely disturbed” by reports of Hitler Youth flags being displayed in two Alberta towns within days of each other.
The Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center for Holocaust Studies says it filed a criminal complaint with RCMP after being alerted on the weekend to Hitler Youth and Confederate flags by a resident of Breton, Alta., about 100 kilometres southwest of Edmonton.
The Toronto-based organization says in a release that the RCMP confirmed that officers spoke to the property owner, who has refused to take down the flags.
The report came less than a week after the Jewish group filed a complaint to the RCMP about a Hitler Youth flag at a property in Boyle, Alta., about 125 kilometres north of Edmonton.
In a recent interview, RCMP spokeswoman Const. Chantelle Kelly said that property owner removed a flag after speaking with officers.
Mounties were not immediately available for comment on the Breton flag, but have said they were investigating whether hate was a factor in the Boyle case.
“Technically, flying a flag is not illegal in itself, so (investigators) have to determine whether there is motivation or something else behind it that is criminal in nature,” Kelly said in an interview last week.
The Simon Wiesenthal Center said Tuesday that “it is extremely disturbing and quite disheartening to once again see a Hitler Youth flag, as well as the Confederate flag, on display.”
The organization said it has written to Breton’s mayor and village council to ask that they work with police to ensure the flags are removed.
“These displays of hate go against the values that Canada stands for and are an attack on not only the Jewish and Black communities, but also on our veterans and fallen soldiers who made unspeakable sacrifices to defeat the Nazis and preserve our freedoms,” Jaime Kirzner-Roberts, the group’s policy director, said in the release.
“We urge police to investigate this incident as a hate crime and for community leaders to send a message loud and clear that hate will not be tolerated in their community.”
