Rebel News supporters who dutifully opened their wallets to fill the coffers of the avowedly right-leaning media outlet’s Fight the Fines campaign can take heart in knowing that, while their latest bid to overturn an “anti-free-speech restraining order” may not have been entirely successful, their crowd-funded legal team might at least get the chance to cross-examine Alberta’s chief medical officer, Deena Hinshaw, in court.

CALGARY: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms was in court again today on behalf of Calgary pastor Tim Stephens, in jail since Sunday May 16. Alberta Health Services (AHS) has sought to keep Pastor Stephens in jail until he agrees to consent to the violation of his Charter rights and freedoms by Albertaâs public health orders.
Albertaâs public health orders are subject to Charter challenges in two separate court actions, and thus far the Alberta Government has failed to produce any medical or scientific evidence, in either court action, that might justify its public health orders as required by the Charter.
CALGARY: The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms has successfully applied to vary the May 6, 2021 Order of Associate Chief Justice John Rooke of the Alberta Court of Queenâs Bench which would have allowed police to arrest any individual “organizing an in-person gathering, including requesting, inciting or inviting others to attend an “Illegal Public Gathering”; “promoting an Illegal Public Gathering via social media or otherwise;” and “attending an Illegal Public Gathering of any nature in a ‘public place’ or a ‘private place’.”
The Justice Centre appeared in Court on the morning of Thursday May 13, at a public hearing observed by media remotely, and applied to amend the May 6 Order by removing the words âor independently to like effect.â
