The crown has dropped charges against Jesse Johnson (owner of Without Papers Pizza) who was being prosecuted for not closing down his restaurant to unvaccinated people in Calgary, Alberta.

The trucker protester, convicted of assault with a weapon and dangerous driving in relation to the Coutts border blockade, is now facing a potential one-year jail sentence.

Chris Carbert, part of the "Coutts 4," has spent 639 days in remand custody. A bail hearing will take place on December 20. (Video below is from October's hearing.)

Frustration mounts as the slow-moving 3-day pre-trial for the 4 protesters, famously known as The Coutts 4, adjourns to Dec 11 with no substantial progress.

The township of Ramara, Ontario, chained the doors of a public venue where prosecuted Albertan pastor Artur Pawlowski was slated to speak, canceling the event just two days before its scheduled date despite a prior signed contract.

Dr. William Makis calls on Alberta's Premier Danielle Smith to fire the "corrupt health officials" recommending boosters, labeling it "catastrophic medical malpractice."

“I think they know darn well that they just don’t have anything so they’re just going to put us all through this right to the end and keep destroying our lives," said mother Betty Carbert.

"Actually, it went really well," said the mother of one of the Coutts protesters who've been under pre-trial custody for over 600 days after the judge delivered a decision on "the envelope."

Families and supporters of the 4 protesters who've been under pre-trial custody for over 600 days smiled with silent excitement as the judge delivered his decision regarding "the envelope." For some it's a step in the right direction, while others think it's not a step at all.

On October 20, 2023, in Lethbridge, Alberta, the "Coutts 4" face a crucial court hearing after spending over 600 days in pre-trial custody. Their participation in a successful protest against Covid-19 restrictions captured nationwide support.

In stark contrast to the Canadian Parliament, which gave a standing ovation to a Nazi, the Ohio House of Representatives honored Canadian pastor Artur Pawlowski and his family.

After being arrested by Calgary Police for "breaching the peace" and escorted into the back of a police van, the handcuffed man asked, "Holding a demonstration celebrating the murder of women and children, that's not a breach of the peace?"

Artur Pawlowski was sentenced to 61 days in jail, but the judge credited him for the time he already served, allowing him to walk out as a freeman.
