Brian Pallister, Manitoba\u2019s conservative-in-name-only premier, recently imposed strict lockdown measures on his entire province, including the closure of anything he deems \u201cnon-essential\u201d \u2014 and according to him, you\u2019re an \u201cidiot\u201d if you disagree with his decision.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His new rules make the town in \u201cFootloose\u201d look like a bastion of freedom! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Among Pallister\u2019s many authoritarian decrees is the closure of all churches in Manitoba. And singing, apparently. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
That\u2019s why we are helping Jake Klassen from Reinfeld, Manitoba. Jake organized a singing service in a public park<\/strong> where people could gather (2 metres apart) to sing Christmas carols and Christian hymns. <\/p>\n\n\n\n They were there spreading Christmas cheer while socially distancing in an empty park. How can there possibly be anything wrong with that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Well, wouldn\u2019t you know it, the very next day, the cops showed up and handed Jake a <\/strong>$1,296 fine! <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n For singing Christmas carols in the park? It\u2019s insane! <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can watch Jake\u2019s story right here<\/strong><\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We won\u2019t rest until we challenge every single one of these fines and win our freedom back! <\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s why we launched an ambitious plan to fight the fines for the first 1,000 Canadians who have been issued a coronavirus ticket. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We don\u2019t plan to pay Jake\u2019s fine \u2014 we\u2019re going to fight it! And we\u2019re hoping we can count on you to help us<\/strong><\/a> crowdfund Jake\u2019s lawyer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rebel News hired David Anber, an excellent civil liberties lawyer, to represent Jake. David has been on the front lines with many of our other “Fight the Fines” cases, so we know Jake is in great hands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re taking a stand to defend our Charter of Rights and Freedoms<\/em>, like the freedom to run a business, visit our family, practice our religion, and SING when and where we want to.<\/strong> But we can\u2019t win this fight alone, and we\u2019ll need as much help as we can get. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To support our fight, please go to www.FightTheFines.com<\/a><\/strong> and help us out with a donation. Whether it\u2019s $5, $50, or $500, every little bit will help us fight Jake\u2019s case and all the other cases we\u2019ve taken on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n And if someone you know received one of these lockdown fines, send them our way<\/strong><\/a>, and we\u2019ll work to get them a lawyer too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yours truly, <\/p>\n\n\n\n Sheila Gunn Reid <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Manitoba Trucker Jake Klassen for Organizing A Singing Session for Christmas Hymns in a Public Park Brian Pallister, Manitoba\u2019s conservative-in-name-only premier, recently imposed strict lockdown measures on his entire province, including the closure of anything he deems \u201cnon-essential\u201d \u2014 and … Continue reading ![\"Trucker](\"https:\/\/ci3.googleusercontent.com\/proxy\/2ysFGVqCYr6iwoySI_giaaR--6t5kWAypvLtBT0QpQYoCXuvQotaJmLb2Ma1y9LhTFRDGMUZrjK5zDsLZnr265pjSq8WBfBBiqAhGc8FJ2DJtxlAbFkXZglV_FCq5zKbAD6Rat_pyaOmdl8lII6h6mh6LHqz3QjA_MVMzJflzuohmwhs=s0-d-e1-ft#https:\/\/d3n8a8pro7vhmx.cloudfront.net\/therebel\/mailings\/4891\/attachments\/original\/singing_outdoors.jpg?1607381309\")
