Jailed Canadian Pastor Denied Bail, Judge Claims He’s a Threat to ‘Public Safety’

On February 8, Pawlowski was arrested for the fifth time by an undercover SWAT team who had staked out his home. The arrest came just before he was slated to speak at a peaceful Freedom Trucker protest at the Alberta/U.S. border, near Coutts, Alberta.

CALGARY, Alberta (LifeSiteNews) – A provincial judge has denied Canadian Christian pastor Artur Pawlowski bail. He will be forced to stay in jail until at least March 11.

As first reported by Rebel News Wednesday, Alberta Provincial Court Judge Erin Olsen ruled that the Calgary preacher was a threat to “public safety,” because he refuses to comply with COVID health rules.

Olsen concluded “that the provision of cash bail with or without conditions of release would be unwise and fruitless, given the accused’s recent history of paying fines and costs potentially with other people’s money.”

Olsen also claimed that Pawlowski’s recent speech to protesters at the Alberta/Montana border could be looked upon as a call to violence.

She noted that Pawlowski is looking at a total of three charges, due to a speech he gave at a protest at the Alberta/Montana border which the government claims “aided and abetted mischief and interfered with critical infrastructure.”

On February 8, Pawlowski was arrested for the fifth time by an undercover SWAT team just before he was slated to speak at a peaceful Freedom Trucker protest at the Alberta/U.S. border, near Coutts, Alberta.

And in other news, the US judicial system is releasing convicted felons (including suspected murderers) on their own recognizance (ROR) without cash bail.

The good pastor is a political prisoner of the communist Trudeau-Freeland junta.

And a pox on every cop involved who followed their orders and pissed on the Charter.

It was not a call to violence. You would have to have a perverted mind to twist his speech into a call for violence.

It is with good reason that I call the Premier of Alberta, ‘Oberführer’ ‘JUSTIN’ KENNEY!

Jason Kenney is almost as evil as Trudeau, so ‘Justin’ is a better moniker for him, than Jason!

The Provincial Court Judge was appointed by Kaycee Madu, the Minister of Just-us and Solicitor General in 2020.

You know, THAT Kaycee Madu, who, on March 10, 2021, was stopped by the Edmonton Police Service and issued a traffic ticket for using his cellphone while driving in a school zone. He then called EPS Chief Dale McFee, raising concerns about why he was stopped and discussing people of colour being stopped by police. You know, THAT guy! He remains the Minister of Just-us and Solicitor General in Oberführer ‘Justin’ Kenney’s fiefdom of Alberta.

Madu is a shining example of PRC’s (Politically Repressive Canada) immigration system. Kelechi (Kaycee) Madu is a lawyer hailing from Nigeria, having moved to Edmonton in 2005.

As Trudeau would say, ‘Diversity is our strength.’, and who’s to argue with that?

A SWAT team. A freaking SWAT team they sent against this man. Very indicative as to how high in their counsels - and level of fear of - this man is to them.

Dear God,

Please spring him just like You did for Peter.

Proverbs 21:1 The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord, he turns it wherever he will.

First they came for the Jews
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Jew.

Then they came for the Communists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a Communist.

Then they came for the trade unionists
and I did not speak out
because I was not a trade unionist.

Then they came for me
and there was no one left
to speak out for me.

While Jan 6th protesters rot in jail.
