AbateHate.com — DailyKenn.com — Recall Otto Frederick Warmbier, the American student held captive by North Korea, being forced to confess "the biggest mistake of my life" after being arrested for allegedly taking a propaganda poster. It was obvious that Warmbier's confession was forced upon him by his captors.
Now, in Canada, a Christian minister has been ordered to recite a statement that effectively endorses the government view on the COVID epidemic.
The government is required Pastor Artur Pawlowski to say the following from his pulpit to his parishioners:
"I am also aware that the views I am expressing to you on this occasion may not be views held by the majority of medical experts in Alberta. While I may disagree with them, I am obliged to inform you that the majority of medical experts favour social distancing, mask wearing, and avoiding large crowds to reduce the spread of COVID-19. Most medical experts also support participation in a vaccination program unless for a valid religious or medical reason you cannot be vaccinated. Vaccinations have been shown statistically to save lives and to reduce the severity of COVID-19 symptoms."
Pawlowski has refused to comply.
