It’s incredible what silly charges they can use to deny bail. I know this is Canada but we here in the USA have the 8th Amendment. Excessive bail and cruel and unusual punishment are supposed to be prohibited. That doesn’t seem to stop some judges/prosecutors for being totally capricious and arbitrary. Commit acts of violence, no bail release. Commit acts of peaceful political resistance, no bail holding cell.
As for this preacher, nobody is forcing his flock to congregate. He is not creating any risk that the people themselves aren’t willing to accept on their own.
Canada does not have rights. Every one of those so-called rights, in its Constitution, can be suspended permanently with a singular vote in Parliament. They are promised permissions, that is all they are.
