With the help of law enforcement authorities, a government health agency of unelected officials has placed a barrier around a church in Alberta, Canada, effectively closing down the place of worship.

GraceLife Church in Edmonton made headlines earlier this year after the church’s pastor, James Coates, was jailed for holding in-person worship services amid ongoing pandemic restrictions.

As CBN News has reported, after spending a month behind bars for violating the government’s capacity mandates, Coates was released from jail on March 29.

Alberta, what’s on yo’ mind?
Alberta, what’s on yo’ mind?
You keep me worried, you keep me bothered, all the time.
Alberta, what’s on yo’ mind?

Alberta, don’t you treat me unkind,
Alberta, don’t you treat me unkind,
‘Cause I’m worried, ‘cause I’m bothered, all the time.
Alberta, don’t you treat me unkind.

Are they doing this to mosques, too?

Rhetorical question, I know.

Sigh. Who would’ve ever thunk something like this would happen in the U.S. or Canada?

It’s a good thing there is no crime going on in Alberta so they can have all those police available to stand around at the church! /s

These are the same Nazis we saw almost 90 years ago. One small step to Night of the Long Knives.

Time for leftist tactics, passive resistance, hold masses and vigils on the lawn area, pray, and sing loudly, say prays for the offices and their families, no violence just constant attention.

One has to wonder how many times, Hitler, Nazism, pre-WWII Germany, the Gestapo, Stalin, Mao, etc., etc. have been invoked since all this COVID 19 BS begun?

Have the entire congregation, led by the elderly and children, walk through the guards and dare the cops to arrest them on camera.

Then, when they don’t, the rest of the congregation enters.

That our they’ll have to arrest and process the entire congregation causing a PR nightmare.

Fight back. Become ungovernable.

Unless they have a warrant, the police vehicles and the fencing are trespassing. Tow the vehicles and remove the fencing.

Night of long knives was where the National Socialist ate their own. Noting similarities with Ernst Rohm’s brown shirts, and Antifa I'd like to see this replicated today.

Hold a service right outside the barrier. A church is the people, not the building.

Well, the Night of the Long Knives was Nazis killing other Nazis, so I wouldn’t be too upset if they repeated that.
