Canadian pastor Derek Reimer arrested again for protesting drag queen storytime
Derek Reimer, 36, of Alberta, was taken into custody on Wednesday for breaching release orders from his previous arrest that prohibited him from being within 200 meters of events involving the LGBTQ community, Calgary Police said.
Each charge carries a maximum penalty of $10,000, which could result in up to six months imprisonment for each payment that cannot be made. The city’s new Safe and Inclusive Access Bylaw now prohibits protests within 100 meters of recreation facilities or libraries in order to avoid “intimidation.”
