10 cops arrest pastor as he protests drag queen reading for kids; he spends Easter in jail — his latest stint behind bars for standing up to such events in Canada

Ten police officers were seen on video arresting a pastor while he was protesting a drag queen reading for kids in Calgary, Alberta, last week — and Pastor Derek Reimer ended up spending Easter in jail, his latest stint behind bars for standing up such events in Canada.

In February, Reimer was shoved out a door and knocked flat on his back after protesting a library's drag queen event — at which children were in attendance — and police charged him with a hate crime.

In this latest arrest, police converged upon Reimer in a parking lot Tuesday afternoon while he was protesting near a library hosting a Reading with Royalty event where drag queens and kings read stories to children, the Calgary Herald reported.

Police were seen carrying a handcuffed Reimer to a police vehicle while Reimer's supporters compared police to Nazis; at least 10 officers appeared to be involved in the pastor's arrest.

The paper said defense attorney Ben Allison on Thursday asked the Calgary Court of Justice that Reimer’s case be adjourned to this week while awaiting disclosure from prosecutor Matt Dalidowicz.

Allison told Justice Karen Molle that he won’t be able to address Reimer's bail until he receives the prosecution's information, the paper said, adding that meant Reimer would spend Good Friday and Easter Sunday in jail.

This was the best sermon he could have preached on Easter, ironically.

Was Reimer attempting to disrupt or stop the event, or just protesting out in the parking lot?

Why is it always men dressed as women who twerk for the kids.

Ever see a good looking woman dressed as a man twerking for the kids?

We in Alberta are not down with the bs, not even slightly. We’re more tenacious than Texans. They love playing with fire.

They’re also revisiting a law since 1930s that enabled the provinces to control their own resources. They want to take that away from the west. I love it. I hope they do it.

The article says he was arrested in the parking lot.
The Sodom Politburo (aka Calgary City council) passed a bylaw recently, that prohibited protests for a number of reasons withing 100m (+/-330 feet) of any city facility. The penalty is up to $10K CDN and time in jail. (Not sure of the time involved.)

This certainly ain’t the City of Calgary that brought us first Mayor, then Premier Ralph Klein! He’s likely just a-spinnin’ in his grave!

The current ‘Mare’ (that is, the East end of a horse facing West), Jyoti Gondek, became Mayor, due to the ethnic vote and young, brain dead leftist voters. It didn’t help that the lone fiscal conservative was a homosexual. The CBC ran a hit piece on him two weeks before the vote, stressing his homosexuality. He had never hidden his homosexuality, but had not stressed it, basically DADT, like the military used to be. Many Calgarians refused to vote for him because he was a homosexual, so the communist won.

I wonder if he’s related to NHL goalie James Reimer (the only San Jose Shark who “dared” to refuse to wear a rainbow jersey).

Yah, saw bits of the video. Canadian coppers, about a dozen or so. Mostly females, tokens obviously since none of them could chase down anything faster than a one armed granny in a wheel chair.

Why hasn’t the State department issued a Travel Advisory for this Country? It is obviously Dangerous for Americans that believe in Free Speech?

The United States replaced Canada as the “Mother Country” Canada has to follow the US lead when Trudeau became PM he was against oil pipelines when Obama was POTUS, for oil pipelines when Trump was POTUS and now is against em with Biden occupying the White House.

The candidates for POTUS in 2024 have power over Canada for sure.

Canada only has two choices either do what the USA tells them to or join up with President “She” (Xi).

That mayor in Calgary needs to have sanctions imposed like a Russian or Chinese or Iranian official has imposed on them by the USA.’

The next POTUS should promise consequences if freedom of speech and or religion are denied in Canada period.

What’s sad is his supporters stood by & simply called the cops nazis. His entire congregation should’ve stood shoulder to shoulder with him & forced them to arrest everyone.
