Christian man wins victory against Canada’s COVID shot mandate
by
(LifeSiteNews) — A Canadian labor board has ruled in favor of a Christian man who refused to comply with a workplace COVID shot mandate due to his objection that the shots used aborted babies’ cell lines in their development. The man was denied a religious exemption and was suspended from his job.
In a recent ruling, Brian Russell, a Public Sector Labour Relations and Employment Board adjudicator, found that the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) violated its collective agreement and the Canadian Human Rights Act when it suspended Ottawa manager Steven Porter without pay because he refused to get the COVID-19 shot.
Porter had asked for a religious exemption from the federally mandated COVID jab policy, which was put in place by the former Liberal government under former Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
As per Blacklock’s Reporter, the CRA was ordered to pay Porter some $5,000 in damages for violating his rights.
“I concluded the employer violated the collective agreement and the Canadian Human Rights Act,” wrote Russell in his decision.
Porter is an evangelical Christian and has been actively involved with his church since 1999. His religious beliefs had stopped him from taking the abortion-tainted COVID jabs over their use of babies’ cell lines in testing and development.
LifeSiteNews has published an extensive amount of reporting about the dangers of the experimental COVID shots, which include heart damage and blood clots.
The shots have been linked to a multitude of negative and often severe side effects, including in children, and all have connections to cell lines derived from aborted babies.
Canada’s public health officials had even admitted the known connection between the COVID shots and aborted babies’ cell lines.
Porter had told the CRA that his Christian faith compelled him to both “protect and honour” all states of human life. Doing so otherwise would be a violation of his conscience.
