Calgary: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms is pleased to announce that the Provincial Court of Alberta has acquitted Pastor Tim Stephens, of Fairview Baptist Church, on alleged charges of violating provincial Public Health Orders regarding physical distancing.
On May 6, 2021, Associate Chief Justice John Rooke of the Alberta Court of Queen’s Bench issued what might be the broadest restraining order in common law history. Justice Rooke’s injunction allowed police to arrest and detain immediately and take before the court any Albertan who exercised her or his Charter freedoms in the face of Alberta Premier Jason Kenney’s unscientific and unconstitutional lockdown orders and restrictions.
