Canadian jailed pastor is released from prison: his "crime"? Holding a church service

After more than a month Pastor James Coates was finally released from a jail in Alberta last week. His trial will take place in two months. What "crime" did he commit? He held regular Sunday services at GraceLife Church. He put Christ ahead of public health orders. Costco, beer and alcohol stores are open across the country, but church gatherings must be shut down or greatly restricted. Even abortion clinics have remained open to kill unborn babies during the pandemic. People gathered for worship and prayer must spread the virus but not those shopping at the big box stores or attending any of the BLM protests.

Shame on Canada's political leaders for putting this Christian pastor in a maximum security prison as if he were a real criminal. Coates was held at the Remand Centre in Edmonton.

Canadians must say no to vaccine passports

As the COVID vaccine roll-out continues, Canadians are concerned that so-called "vaccine passports" could also be rolled out. This will create an ethical and legal minefield, not to mention an unacceptable intrusion into our rights and freedoms. Prime Minister Trudeau has so far said he's not leaning in this direction. Recall that he denied there were government plans afoot to establish quarantine hotels. But it turned out to be true.

Happy Feast Day of the Annunciation of the Lord

Human salvation begins with the Word of God taking human flesh in the womb of the Virgin Mary. Mary's total "Yes" to Angel Gabriel's message that she would conceive in her womb a son to be called Jesus. Her answer is an unconditional and eternal "Yes" to human and divine life. It's through Mary that the true God and true Man, becomes flesh in Jesus who saves humanity from death, exile and sin.

Re: "Listening to voice of hearing impaired," March 21

The article in question features Toronto Catholic District School Board trustee Markus de Domenico and his family.
