Calgary Pastor Derek Reimer was charged with mischief and disturbing the peace after being physically thrown out of a drag queen story time event at a public library this past weekend.
He has been cited numerous times for feeding the homeless and horrid crimes like ministering to people.
Mission 7 serves the homeless in Calgary’s downtown core.
Reimer was the second client of The Democracy Fund’s (TDF) “Fight The Fines” program after he was ticketed for illegal public gatherings during COVID when ministering to the vulnerable in the city centre.https://www.rebelnews.com/calgary_pastor_arrested_at_home_after_protesting_drag_queen_story_hour
Over the past two years, amid stiff competition, the province of Alberta has earned the dubious distinction of having arrested the most Christian pastors in all of Canada.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, Pastor James Coates, and Pastor Tim Stephens have all been behind bars for refusing to bend the knee to the litany of COVID restrictions forcing them to close their churches when people needed them most.
Premier Jason Kenney put more pastors in jail over the past two years than Communist China. (We even put a billboard up reminding Albertans of that.)
There’s also Pastor Derek Reimer. A Fight The Fines alumnus who received multiple fines for carrying on his pastoral duties when the state considered that a “high-risk” activity. He beat those fines with the stellar legal help he received thanks to our viewers’ generous donations towards his legal fees.
This weekend, Pastor Derek found himself in trouble with the law once again.
He allegedly violated an injunction issued to the City of Calgary, which banned honking and loudspeakers. A move clearly meant to stifle the city’s weekly freedom rallies.
We covered the rally this weekend and obtained footage of the arrest from one of Derek’s congregants shortly after it happened
