Canadian Pastor's Son Criticizes Trudeau in Powerful EU Parliament Speech, Receives Standing Ovation
Nathaniel Pawlowski, the son of a Canadian pastor facing potential prison time for delivering a sermon, received a standing ovation from the European Parliament as he pleaded for international pressure in his father's case. Pastor Artur Pawlowski has been in conflict with authorities in Calgary, Alberta, after refusing to comply with COVID-19 regulations. Nathaniel Pawlowski warned that Canadian freedoms are eroding, citing restrictions on religion, speech, protest, and media. He likened Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to a "modern-day Caligula" and urged the EU Parliament to intervene. The pastor's son himself faces charges for preaching outside a drag queen story hour.
