It’s the “O” symbol - they’re worshiping Obama who is appearing on a screen in front of them

Even the U.N. Secretary General at the time - Ban Ki Moon

They’re all making various “O” symbols - even the Globalist fools in the audience who chose to be there

Yeah it’s almost Biblical in creepiness

You don’t see politicians worshiped like that other than the little corporal

Disgusting! Those cops/Gestapo should be ashamed of themselves and so should health “professionals” who caused this.

Ya got one guy making a “peace” sign. Look @ the audience. Thousands and thousands of Globalist fools. Maybe 10,000+ making that symbol?

Dunno what the attendance was. That was the 2014 Global Citizen Festival in NYC.

Freedom of religion as it exists (in theory) in this country isn’t replicated in many places. In some Canadian provinces, religious schools are required by law to teach an ‘LGBTQ-friendly’ curriculum.

It should be noted, however, that if our Court was divided 3-6 rather than 6-3, every church in a blue state would have been boarded up months ago just like this one is right now.

I’m going to pretend it’s homo pedophiles making the sign of the child’s anus.

The aspect that is not discussed very much is the reason for freedom of religion and separation of church and state.

People gather to worship God because they believe in His power. Presumably that would include the power to heal and protect the faithful. The secular world evidently does not believe this is a real thing so they think that a church gathering is just like any other gathering of people in a store or a tavern, restaurant or sporting event.

The state should butt out of religious freedom altogether. If these people are wrong about their beliefs, so be it, not for anyone else but themselves to judge.

Now having said that, in court you would hear this sort of argument: “Religious groups do not have a right to endanger the health of the community.” In theory, if it were known that a religious group had some terrorist agenda and were advancing that agenda in their meetings, then that would be a pretext for the state to enter their premises and prevent further meetings. We have seen in the past how the state has walked on eggshells on that matter, and not gone into all sorts of meeting places (in particular mosques and Sikh temples) where such activities were suspected.

Yet if grandpa gets a cold, in they go with all the power of the state. It makes no sense, the spread of COVID is probably not influenced by even a second decimal percentage because of a few church gatherings. I was just at a Walmart in BC, and surely there was more risk there than I would face at this church gathering. By the way, BC has a more overtly globalist-socialist type of government but the population has a strong libertarian streak and the government here has taken a bit more care on this particular issue, they have pressured churches to close, but their campaigns have been (so far) played out in the courts with cases going up to the Supreme Court (provincial) recently.

The Alberta government on other issues has taken conservative stands, for example, to protect their embattled resource industries. It surprises me that Premier Kenney would not personally step into this and make sure there was no forceful closures. It shows that even in his relatively right of center administration, the globalist presence is strong and powerful, and able to dictate policy.

That’s what this whole business is about, in my view, a chance for globalism to become a one-party state form of government, no exceptions, no choices, just the command and control that they admire in their Chinese (exempt from consequences) partners.

The difference with the rest of Canada, is no church dares to buck these orders. I wonder how familiar church leaders are with Scottish Presbyterians who were prevented by the Church of England to assemble? They would say this is temporary but its basically been a year now for all churches across Canada. So the question is how much longer?

The Liberal Party has been water carriers for the Chi Coms for at least 3 decades.

I wouldnt be surprised if the leftist government in Alberta got in by electoral fraud. Canada is further along in polishing their vote fraud machine than our DNC gang.

The thoroughly pathetic part is, the 'United Conservative Party' is the political party in control in AB. The Minister of Health is the MLA in my riding.

Up until today, I have never joined a political party and have only sent one letter to a politician in my life. Today, I joined the Wildrose Independence Party of Alberta, a party seeking independence from Canada AND would be 'conservatives' like Shandro and Kenney. I also sent Shandro this e-mail today.

Police State actions by AHs in Spruce Grove and Calgary against Christian churches and Pastors

Dear sir

I am one of your constituents in the Calgary-Acadia riding. I am writing to you to express my disgust and revulsion at the actions of certain AHs representatives regarding the forced closure of GraceLife Church in Spruce Grove and the VERY slow exit of AHs and LEOs from the premises utilized by Street Church in Calgary when asked by the Pastor to leave. I believe that he asked them OVER 30 TIMES to leave, before they did.

As you are a lawyer, I am sure that you are WELL aware of Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms that supposedly 'guarantees' freedom of religion in Canada, amongst other guarantees. I am also fairly certain that you are aware of the Criminal Code of Canada, Section 176 (2) which states, 'Every one who wilfully disturbs or interrupts an assemblage of persons met for religious worship or for a moral, social or benevolent purpose is guilty of an offence punishable on summary conviction.'

At first, I thought that Pastor Artur Pawlowski's calling the LEOs and AHs representatives 'Nazis' and 'Gestapo' was a little over the top, but given the actions taken yesterday in Spruce Grove by AHs backed up by RCMP, I have a hard time not believing that he was 100% correct!

As you are the Minister of Health, the responsibility for the pogram by AHs against so many churches falls on YOUR shoulders. NO bureaucrat would DARE to close and prevent a church congregation from meeting without MINISTERIAL approval! Hopefully NO AHs representative would enter a church DURING services or preparation for a service without MINISTERIAL approval. I would expect such actions from a Liberal or NDPer, NOT a 'conservative'! On the off chance that you did NOT authorize the pogram, then YOU have no business remaining as Minister of Health, as YOU have no control over your department!

As a life long conservative, I have ALWAYS voted for the Conservative Party provincially and federally, first in Ontario and, for the last 30 years, Alberta. The one exception was the last federal election, where I voted for the only TRULY conservative party. It certainly WASN'T the federal Conservative Party! I also, do not understand what has become of the 'conservative' party in Alberta. Ralph Klein would be spinning in his grave!

Regards,

The only similarity I see between these two incidents are the government and a church...... and the first thing that came into my mind is Mark,12;17

This is when you meet in homes like one must in “other” communist countries.

God be with these people who only wish to praise his name.

Canada is so far behind us as far as the virus goes, they are almost like a 3rd world country. I have a friend who is a nurse there, and SHE can’t even get a vax until months from now. She is in awe of our freedom.

This is a church my friend, no one’s going to shoot back and they know it.

They did shoot back in a Texas church when a man came in and started shooting up the place.

Yes, but against law enforcement officers?

No, but these law enforcement are in the wrong. Or they would be if they did the same thing in the US. I hope the members of that congregation don’t just give up!

"They will be on 24/7 guard at the fence."

So the Canadian taxpayers are OK with their hard earned dollars going to pay for their own oppression?

“The aspect that is not discussed very much is the reason for freedom of religion and separation of church and state.”

that’s not exactly how it was supposed to be.

The state is forbidden to mess with religion, but Christianity was expected to influence the state.

Christianity influences the PEOPLE, who then influence the state.

That’s why I left that stupid country in the first place. People dont realize how leftwing the country is. The cops and the immigration guys there are worse than in the US and I laugh at Americans bitching about the cops here, even though they caught me many times for traffic infractions.
