CBC News reports Pastor Tim Stephens is just one of a number of people arrested and/or charged over the past few weeks in the province of Alberta after the Canadian government opted to increase enforcement early this month against COVID-19 rule-breakers, targeting individuals, organizations, and businesses that have spurned public health orders especially repeat offenders.
