Brickbat: He Doth Protest Too Much

Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski has been sentenced to 60 days in jail after being found guilty of criminal mischief for giving a speech to the trucker convoy that protested that nation's COVID-19 restrictions in 2022. The judge gave Pawlowski credit for the 78 days he was detained before the trial, so the pastor will serve no additional time. The government had asked for a sentence of eight to 10 months. The judge found Pawlowski played no role in planning the protest and his speech did not play a major role in the protest.

I basically make about $14,000 to $18,000 a month online. It’s enough to comfortably replace my old jobs income, especially considering I only work about 10-13 hours a week from home. I was amazed how easy it was after I tried it copy below web…

Hurrah! A victory for free speech. Exercising a basic human right will only get you 60 days in jail in Canada now. Well, plus your bank account frozen which, coupled with your firing from your job, will cost you your house and your car and your credit history.

So collectivized rights are not as sturdy as individual rights. This is why Canada and the US are where people want to live--to the extent both are freed from compulsion speciously justified by appeals to mystical assumptions for which evidence is lacking.

Do you expect different from a country whose parliment celebrates literal SS Nazis?

Not really. Which is why I hope all the woke flee North.

The prosecutors said that freedom of speech was in no way involved in the prosecution of a man for giving a political speech, i.e. a genuine peaceful protestor.

Canada is an unfree state. Free Canada!

See how useful that Charter of Rights and Freedoms is.

Was the speech the Pastor gave even a political one?

It wouldn't exactly be surprising if someone in his trade speaking to a large group of people delivered something closer to a sermon than an objectively political message. Probably couched more in terms of morality than theology since the group wasn't a self-selecting congregations based on any single religious denomination but could be safely presumed to be generally familiar with the "Abrahamic" paradigm for the most part.

Any chance the 60 days was for not repeating it in French?

Free? I'll take it!

A real Landover Baptist preacher would've juggled some live rattlesnakes. That's a crowd-pleaser every time.

This is what juries are for. And the right to argue law to a jury.
