Canada is founded on Judeo-Christian biblical principles and this is the core to our freedoms and democracy. These principles are embedded in our Magna Carta which form our laws and our values and it is a system of governance that sets us apart from totalitarian, extremist and communist regimes. It gives Canadians the freedom to believe, or to not believe, without fear of oppression, persecution or even death.
Pastor Pawlowski is at the top of the long list of persecuted Canadian pastors, and he has not only been fined, arrested and imprisoned but also tortured for his faith. The following list of pastors have been either arrested and/or issued fines. This is by no means a complete list:
Pastor Artur Pawlowski, AB Pastor Dawid Pawlowski, AB Pastor Tim Stephens, AB Pastor James Coates, AB Pastor Brent Smith, BC Pastor Aaron Rock, ON Pastor Michael Thiessen, ON Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, ON Pastor Jason Reaume, ON Street Pastor Michael Ojinma, BC Pastor Grant, BC Pastor Jim, BC Pastor Tobias Tissen, MB Pastor Phil, NB Associate Pastor Cody Butler, NB
According to Section 176 (1-3) of the Criminal Code, it is an indictable offense to interfere with clergy or obstruct them from performing any function in connection with their calling. However, this has not stopped our tyrannical and spiteful leaders from issuing illegal warrants and fines and arresting pastors, in an effort to stop Christians from gathering.
Freedom of speech, thought, belief and the right to life, liberty and security of the person are guaranteed. We do not beg, barter or steal…they are our God given rights.
