‘WELCOME TO CANADA, WHERE THEY PADLOCK THE CHURCH ON THANKSGIVING,’ pastor Phil Hutchings wrote after his associate’s arrest on Thanksgiving for allegedly violating strict COVID measures.

SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick (LifeSiteNews) – During a Thanksgiving church service this Sunday, New Brunswick police officers and health officials arrested a pastor and padlocked the church being used, citing that the number of attendees at the service exceeded the so-called COVID-19 “health limit.”

On Sunday, New Brunswick (NB) police officers and health officials detained associate pastor Cody Butler at His Tabernacle Family Church in Saint John for holding a Thanksgiving worship service that exceeded the number of government-allowed participants.

The government then padlocked the church and posted a “closure notice” on the building.

“WELCOME TO CANADA, WHERE THEY PADLOCK THE CHURCH ON THANKSGIVING,” posted founder and lead pastor of His Tabernacle Family Church Phil Hutchings on Facebook, the morning after his associate’s arrest and his church’s closure.

“They came harassing me this morning at my home again…after the court told them not to return to our residence for any correspondence. Now Public Safety has issued closure of our church doors even after we complied,” he added.

This goes on and nobody..I MEAN NOBODY, does anything.

I have been told since I was a kid, that God helps those who help themselves.

These people should help themselves in a abundance. There is a scene in the move A Bronx Tale were a biker gang goes into a mob bar to start trouble. The mob boss locks the door and takes care if the problem. Needs to start happening and end this once and for all.

Lifesite got the name of the place wrong. It’s not SAINT JOHN, New Brunswick... it’s Communist New Brunswick. This is just another example.

So the ChiComs launch a Covid bio attack on the world and western nations adopt red China’s communist system to combat it. Convenient.

So the cops padlocked the doors. No biggie.

Hold services in the parking lot next Sunday.

Or in the parking lot of the police station.

Or blocking the nearest interstate...

China has to be amazed and confounded at our stupidity and cravenness. "It can't be this easy." Well, tragically, it is.

LEO's striving to make history, and be remembered the way Nazi's are remembered.

SMH😞

Too bad we can't do some kind of citizen exchange:

We'll send our Communists to Canada, and they can send us their Christians.

Call it the "Commies to Canada" program.
