Canadian pastor arrested on tarmac over COVID rules says police confiscated luggage, snooped laptop

EXCLUSIVE: The Polish-Canadian pastor who has been repeatedly arrested for holding church services in Calgary, Alberta, said Canadian border police confiscated his belongings and apparently broke into his personal computer.

When Pastor Artur Pawlowski landed back in his home city of Calgary on Monday following a four-month tour of the United States, customs officials were waiting to cuff him on the tarmac for two criminal charges, he told Fox News in an interview.

"They have fallen to a new low," Pawlowski said of the Canadian authorities. "Our lawyers contacted them and asked them if there are any pending warrants for me when I was in the states. They said that there are no pending warrants, there is nothing outstanding."

Pawlowski had been traveling throughout the United States over the summer to spread his warning that Western governments increasingly resemble the communist regime in Poland he fled as a young man.

His tour followed the international attention he received in April when officials went to his church in Canada during Holy Week to inspect it for COVID-19 compliance. Because they entered the sanctuary armed and uninvited during a worship service, Pawlowski refused to speak with them.

Instead, he accused them of being "Nazis" and shouted them down until they agreed to leave. Video of the encounter went viral.

Three weeks later, officials returned with a court order authorizing them to access Pawlowski’s church and arrest him if he failed to comply. Again he demanded they leave the church property and contact his lawyer.

Expect religious persecution from government from now on. Await the arrest of more prominent religious leaders to make the point. Authors to start thinking of writing “The US gulag Archipelago”. Under Biden there will be Catholics persecuting Protestants and Catholics. Pre-born babies, good luck.

“In the end, you shall lose every thing you hold of value in this world, your wealth, your possessions, your freedoms, your friends, your family, your youth, even your life itself. But before you surrender them, make those who try to take them from you pay an extreme price for every little scrap they grasp for.”

It’s clear with the re-election of Trudeau, that Canadians will simply not learn, until it is far too late.

Pawlowski recounted how three officers demanded that he and his pilot step out of the plane. He said he heard one of the officers tell the pilot to surrender his phone, though the pilot refused and managed to record the incident.

Local yocals do not start barking out orders to the Pilot in Command of an internationally traveling registered aircraft. Its those pesky International Laws and Treaties things.

If you’re carrying a laptop across international borders, assume it will be hacked. Some individuals might go so far as to preload their hard drive with viruses, worms, rootkits, and you name it, as such creeps are typically under-trained and might even spread the goodness around.

What those who are careful not to have anything incriminating on their laptop seldom consider that the spooks might *load* criminal evidence on their machine.

Years ago I was detained by Canadian border officials when entering Canada via I-29 in North Dakota. They pulled my car apart,demanded the password to my laptop and asked me a million questions...about 99% of which were about firearms. After almost 2 hours,having found nothing (it would hard to exaggerate how boring the life I lead is) they let me enter...and I've entered a dozen times since with no problems.

They were polite...no treats...no Gestapo like attitudes...but they were thorough.
