Canadian MP launches national petition to open church barricaded by police
Grace Life Church was fenced in by police for violating severe lockdowns.
(LifeSiteNews) — Standing in front of a Canadian church fenced off by police for not following COVID rules, Independent MP Derek Sloan announced a petition to demand the church be allowed to open.
“I have just been here speaking with Pastor Coates and his wife, we have a petition on my website to open Grace Life Church,” said Sloan on Wednesday. “Sign that petition, let’s open this church.”

Sloan’s petition calls for the immediate opening of Grace Life Church in Spruce Grove, Alberta.
In an early morning raid on Wednesday, Canadian police constructed a barricade around Grace Life, which has stayed open despite a local health order mandating its closure after its pastor, James Coates, refused to comply with COVID regulations.
Sloan’s petition, just over a day after its launch, has already more than 5,300 signatures. “This act is tyrannical government overreach, and is a direct violation of Canadian Charter rights,” the petition states.
