Canadian Pastor Artur Pawlowski Goes on Trial for Speaking to Truckers at Border Protest Last Year

'Pastor Pawlowski broke no law when he attended and spoke at the protest' near the U.S.-Canada border last January, his attorney will argue.

(LifeSiteNews) – Christian pastor Artur Pawlowski will be in court tomorrow to begin a two-day trial on charges stemming from speaking in support of truckers who were part of the Freedom Convoy border protest blockade that took place in Coutts, Alberta last year.

As noted in a press release from Pawlowski’s legal team at The Democracy Fund (TDF), Pawlowski will stand trial in a Lethbridge, Alberta court on February 2-3.

According to the TDF, Pawlowski’s “words to the protesters are being prosecuted in this week’s trial.”

The TDF said he is being charged with “inciting mischief, counselling interference with critical infrastructure, and failing to keep the peace and be in good behaviour.”

Pawlowski, who resides in Calgary, Alberta and is pastor of the Cave of Adullam church, is being represented by TDF-funded lawyer Sarah Miller.

The TDF says Miller will argue that “Pastor Pawlowski broke no law when he attended and spoke at the protest.”

On February 3, 2022, Pawlowski attended the Freedom Convoy protest taking place in Coutts, Alberta, which borders the U.S. state of Montana. The protests were held in conjunction with the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protests that called for an end to all COVID mandates.

It is there he spoke to the large crowd of protesters who had gathered in support of the trucker strike, which shut down the border for weeks. He told them to peacefully “hold the line.”

This is ridiculous. It’s such a shame that our “allies” have come to this point.

A re-drawing of maps should be in order.

Trudeau and his ilk get Ellesmere Island and regular Canadians get the rest of the country.

A true follower of Jesus Christ who chased Trudeau’s police goon squad out of his church, calling them Nazis.

Again — the punishment is the process. He’ll be found innocent in the end, but its the legal costs and stress that takes it’s toll.

Trudeau is one piece of human excrement. Canada is so woke its absolutely insane.

We’re following pretty close behind.

Thank God for the Republic, the entire western world owes our founding fathers. Not that we’re not going down but with people like 45 and DeSantis at least we have a little fight left.
