During trial, the Alberta Health inspector admitted she - as part of a police task force aimed at churches - was in the sanctuary as people were praying and as Pastor Tracy's husband, Pastor Rodney Fortin, was preaching from the pulpit. She was wandering around with a clipboard.
(as an aside, the crown prosecutor insists on remaining anonymous, though this is not a gang land trial and no one here is a minor. She is just ashamed of her actions and the chief church hunter-killer of covid)
"regulation is absolutely essential for our safety and the functioning of society" "There is no logical reason to treat health regulations any differently than other regulations (like construction, elevator, food inspection etc) in a church"
Judge acknowledges that there is no evidence of any covid non-compliance. "this was a deliberate and intentional act" Calls the gravity of the offence high and cites long covid for some reason
Judge says she must prevent the offender from doing this again and the sentence must act as a deterrent. (deterrent from what? never having an outbreak? protecting the church from the state? loving and ministering to a congregation of the entirely willing?)
Her "non compliance" was literally just "come back when we're not engaged in active worship services".
They even arranged an appointment with the health gestapo, and the inspector no showed. If it was so important they got access, why didn't they arrive to their appointment early or at least at all?

No evidence of non compliance yet still has to prevent the offender from doing this again
Doing what again, then?
No evidence of non compliance, so, do what again, exactly?
Anonymous judge is a coward
Pathetic
