A prominent Canadian pastor who has emerged as an outspoken critic of his government’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been released from prison after nearly two months in custody.
Pastor Artur Pawlowski of Street Church and the Cave of Adallum in Calgary, Alberta, Canada, was released from prison Wednesday after 51 days of being moved between a cell and solitary confinement. Pawlowski was arrested last month for allegedly inciting “mischief” by addressing a crowd of truckers gathered at the Canada-United States border to protest the mandate requiring truck drivers who transport goods between the two countries to either get the vaccine or quarantine for several days upon re-entry into the country.
Critics of the Canadian government, including Rebel News’ Ezra Levant, described Pawlowski’s arrest as “an attempt to stop him from expressing himself politically to these truckers.” Rebel News also created a website, SaveArtur.com, to raise money for the pastor’s legal bills.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau defamed the truckers, who represented a wide swath of ethnicities and religions, as proponents of “antisemitism, Islamophobia, anti-black racism, homophobia, and transphobia.”
Officials in the Canadian capital of Ottawa seized fuel from truckers and those seeking to provide fuel for the truckers to stay warm inside their cabins amid freezing temperatures, citing a belief that access to fuel was enabling the truckers to persist in causing “mischief.”
Rebel News reporter Adam Soos posted a video of Pawlowski leaving the Calgary Remand Centre on his Twitter account Wednesday. Pawlowski embraced his wife Marzena and son, Nathaniel, before Nathaniel Pawlowski drove his parents back home. Pawlowski, sitting in the passenger’s seat of the car, reached across his son to wave at the camera.

An example of what liberals would do if you don’t conform.
Those hardcore religious types and their mischief. What cha gon do?
Mischief is not as serious an offense as hooliganism. That one will get you the death penalty.
In a just and logical society, this pastor would be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. He is tough and righteous.
Not easily cowed or silenced. Same goes for his brother
Dawid Pawlowski.
Canada releases political prisoner, while ours remain jailed. 😩
Agree.
Thank God. This man is being persecuted for no good reason.
I think he is being persecuted for calling fascists "fascist."
For so long the Left has tried to paint National Socialism and Italian Fascism as "right wing," while international Communism was somehow different. They are all the same, and nothing pisses off a Leftist as to be called a "fascist." Because it is true.
Two months in jail for ‘inciting mischief’ while BLM and ANTIFA are allowed to loot and burn Toronto.
It’s a tasteless unfunny joke. The corrupt lefties should be the ones behind bars.
2 Corinthians 4 16-18
Canada carried out a total injustice. This pastor was selected for persecution and prosecution because he defied the all-encompassing power of the State. He wouldn’t bow down in reverence.
The alleged reason was that he wouldn’t obey the rules about masks, or gatherings, or some such thing. The real reason was that he is Christian and that the State was actively carrying out the elimination of Christianity.
He was thrown into solitary for the same reason the Jan 6 crowd was thrown into solitary: refusal to conform to the fascism of the State.
The people rebelled, but the State has infinite power. That power which it doesn’t have, it gives to itself. The state has infinite money - it can just take more from the folks, or print more. The individual will soon run out of money.
If you think Canada is a free country, you are wrong.
What is??
Calgary’s most famous son, Ted Cruz, has been silent on this and the political prisoners in his adopted country USA as well.
You’re right, TCruz also has no compassion for the railroaded J-6 prisoners. The aunt of the man who killed himself last month said she had heard from no one among conservatives.
What did he do? Say there is Man, Woman and God?
Man if there really was a LGBTQUVWXYZ thingy po Adam wouldn’t have had a bone left in his chest:-)
