International media seems mortified at the treatment of a pastor for questioning the allocation of government resources for a drag event at the local library. Local media? Not so much. One journalism student here. And me.

Ok, here we go. Pastor Derek is appearing via CCTV from the Calgary Remand. There is also a lawyer representing the City of Calgary here.

Pastor Derek offered bail last week with a $3000 promise to pay and conditions that (I think) include staying away from Drag Queen events.

And Derek's lawyers says the conditions will cause a breach and send the pastor back to jail.

The crown appearing today is not the crown assigned to the case.

The new crown, who is not here, needs to review the conditions to come up with some that are "more reasonable."
