“This is my friend. Pastor Artur Pawlowski. He kept his church open in Canada and defended off wave after wave of government enforcers trying to shut him down. He’s been speaking in the US, where we met. We spoke extensively about the fight and what it means to resist. This is a good man. A kind man. A man who stood for what’s right when it was easier to not. He returned to Canada today to face 6 years in prison - for opening his church. When I asked him why he was willingly going back when he could stay here. His response, ‘if I do not go face them like a man, then everything I did means nothing. I will show the world who they are.’ He was arrested upon landing. Currently his family has been locked out of the facility he is locked up at. Artur, you are giant among men. I’ll see you soon brother.” - Ian Smith
