Watch: Police Trying To Enforce COVID Rules Chased Out Of Canadian Church By Angry Pastor
A pastor at a Canadian church has gone viral after a video showed him yelling at police officers to get out of his church after they interrupted a Passover celebration to check compliance for COVID restrictions.
The officers were dispatched, according to Calgary Police, due to reports that attendees at the service at Street Church in Alberta, Canada, âwere not adhering to the governmentâs COVID-19 public health orders.â
Pastor Artur Pawlowski wasnât even vaguely having it.
âPlease get out, get out of this property, immediately get out,â Pawlowski told six police officers as they stood just inside the entrance of the church.
âI donât want to hear a word,â he continued shouting. âOut! Out! Out of this property immediately until you come back with a warrant, out.â
Pawloski continues by suggesting the officers are acting like âNazisâ adding, âGestapo is not allowed here.â
âDo you understand English? Get out of this property,â he states, as officers finally motion to exit the church.

Canadian Church Pastor Wasnât Having the COVID Police
The Calgary Police Service issued a statement defending their actions, insisting they were there to ensure âvoluntary complianceâ of COVID health orders âwhich are in place to ensure everyoneâs safety.â
âIn attending public spaces, private homes, and businesses, we continue to strive for voluntary compliance with public health orders where that makes sense,â they wrote.
Enforcing âvoluntary complianceâ â including in private businesses and homes â by sending law enforcement on-site is next-level Orwellian.

âOur rights are being taken away from us so quickly itâs unbelievable,â Pawloski said following the confrontation, urging viewers to ârise upâ before Canada is immersed in a total lockdown.
âPassover, the holiest Christian festival in a year, and theyâre coming to intimidate Christians during the holiest festival?â he complained. âUnbelievable ⊠itâs beyond me.â

âObvious Tyrannyâ
James Coates, another pastor at a Canadian church, was jailed for over a month when he continued to hold services in February in defiance of Albertaâs Public Health Act.
âI realized thatâs the way society is going to perceive whatâs happening here,â Coates told a provincial court Judge at the time. â[But] Iâm simply here in obedience to Jesus Christ, and itâs my obedience to Christ that has put me at odds with the law.â
The matter prompted Fox News host Tucker Carlson to describe it as âobvious tyranny.â
Coatesâ wife told Carlson that Canadians have had freedoms âslowly stripped from usâ to the point that âwe didnât even realize it.â
âIs that the future you want?â Pastor Pawloski asked following his confrontation with the police. âIs that what you want for your children or your grandchildren?â
