, Pastor Vern Temple does what other people won\u2019t do. He helps the lowest of the low \u2014 homeless people, hungry people. He\u2019s up in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, so a lot of his work is with people from the nearby Indian band.\u00a0 It\u2019s one of the poorest churches I\u2019ve ever seen,<\/strong> and I\u2019ve seen the churches in Iraq that ISIS torched. But the local mayor, a bully named Greg Dionne, just can\u2019t stand the church. He\u2019s always after it for something. And he finally found a way to try and bring it down \u2014 a ludicrous $14,000 fine for singing.<\/strong> I\u2019m serious. For singing in a church.<\/strong> Here, watch Pastor Vern tell you himself:<\/a><\/strong>

No-one can afford a $14,000 fine.<\/strong> Certainly not one of the poorest churches in Canada, one that already spends every dollar it has to feed the poor and house the homeless. Imagine the moral compass of a mayor who permits a casino to stay open during the pandemic,<\/strong> but cracks down on a church for doing the same. Pastor Vern and his congregants can\u2019t afford the fine. They can\u2019t afford a lawyer, either. He\u2019s between a rock and a hard place.

But that\u2019s where we come in \u2014 you and me.<\/strong> Rebel News has hired a great lawyer for Pastor Vern \u2014 a freedom-fighting civil liberties lawyer named Sarah Miller. I almost feel bad for that bully mayor. He\u2019s not going to know what hit him! We\u2019re not going to pay the fine. We\u2019re going to fight the fine.

And if you want to support our fight<\/strong><\/a>, go to\u00a0www.FightTheFines.com<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and chip in to help us crowdfund this top-notch lawyer. That\u2019s where you can check out our other cases, too! If you know someone who needs a lawyer to fight a pandemic fine, tell them to go to our site and fill out the form<\/strong><\/a> \u2014 we\u2019ll try to have a lawyer reach out and help them. And if you don\u2019t know someone who needs help, maybe you can be someone who gives it by joining our crowdfunding campaign and pitching in a few dollars. On behalf of Pastor Vern \u2014 thanks.

Yours truly,

Chief Reporter,

Rebel News P.S. Have you noticed how the lockdown bullies seem to be picking on Christian churches? Not on casinos, liquor stores, cannabis stores, or even Wal-marts and Costcos. They\u2019re picking on churches. In this case, they\u2019ve issued the largest fine in Canada \u2014 a whopping $14,000. Time to fight back!<\/strong><\/a><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
