Another video of a Polish pastor in Canada calling local authorities "Nazis" as they try to enforce coronavirus pandemic restrictions has gone viral.

A Canadian court ruled last Friday that the government of Alberta will not be required to present medical or scientific evidence justifying COVID-19 restrictions for the upcoming trial of pastor James Coates on May 3.

A Canadian pastor says he could face up to one year and jail and a $100,000 fine for violating Canada's COVID-19 regulations by holding an in-person worship service on Easter Sunday.

After his church was blocked off by officials, Pastor James Coates of GraceLife Church in Alberta, Canada, moved his church to an undisclosed location so that congregants could gather and worship together. Coates was previously arrested for violating COVID-19 restrictions.

On Sunday, around 1,000 people gathered outside of the Canadian-based GraceLife Church to protest the government's closing of the congregation over COVID-19 regulation violations.

A Canadian pastor who made headlines after he kicked out mask-enforcing officials from his church during a Passover service, says that their actions reminded him of Communist Poland.

Canadian officials have reportedly barricaded an Alberta church as its pastor awaits trial for violating COVID-19 restrictions.

On Saturday, the Street Church pastor in Calgary, Canada, filmed himself demanding police officers and a government health official attempting to enforce mask mandates in the church during a Passover service to leave.

A Canadian father was arrested this month after he defied a court order requiring him to call his child, a biological girl who identifies as a male, his "son".
