Alberta Health Services has closed GraceLife Church in Parkland County west of Edmonton.

In an emailed statement to CBC News Wednesday morning, RCMP confirmed they were on scene, assisting AHS as they closed the church under Section 62.1 of the Alberta Public Health Act. As of 8:30 a.m., police vehicles and unmarked SUVs were blocking entrances to the church parking lot.

In a media statement, AHS said it "physically closed" the church and has prevented access until the church "can demonstrate the ability to comply with Alberta's Chief Medical Officer of Health's restrictions."

There you have it

It’s all about compliance. Health issues and individual rights be damned! We are the government and you will do as you are told.

Walk in, leave the cars on the street and walk in, make them arrest everyone. Passive resistance, no violence.

It’s canada, but with democrats in charge, the USA is well on the road to becoming a fascist dictatorship too.

13 months since the first lockdown. Vaccines in millions of people. Obviously the corrupt politicians are not willing to let go of their iron grip of fascist power.

How long will this continue?

Canada is one of the last bastions for fascism in this world. The health officials are going crazy here, shutting down schools in Ontario, and our pediatric psychiatrist has just cancelled all in person consultations.

Morons. While the police are assembled on the corner of Numbskull and Moronic boulevards, the congregation is meeting at a location only known to them.

China released a statement concerning the forced closing of the church, “We appreciate the Canadian officials adopting CCP enforcement policies, and look forward to ruling over your country in the near future.”

Next up, the Calgary church run by the Polish pastor who told off and kicked out the health inspector and her backup cops last week on that viral video.

That fence would not stand up to a Marvin Heemeyer style armored bulldozer.

Just saying.

The comments on the article indicate that the vast majority of residents of Canickistan are just fine with fascism.

Jason Kenney, (so called) conservative Premier, you’ve lost my vote. I am a lifelong conservative and you’ve lost my vote. I cannot put into words, the depth of my disgust with this fraudulent ‘conservative’. He, and his caucus, are disgusting, slimy liars, in other words, typical politicians. A POX ON ALL THEIR HOUSES!

Unfortunately, I am a citizen of Canada-occupied Alberta. MANY Albertans LOATHE the (C)CBC. Personally, I NEVER listen to the (Communist) Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. The ‘Comments’ section on the (C)CBC is nothing but an echo chamber populated by retired and current public servants and leftists.

Not ALL Albertans or Canadians are sheeple, though many are, even PASTORS who say NOTHING about this travesty!

Trust in the LORD, Canadians, not your government.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.” John 14:27
