Tonight, the Newsmaker of the Year, Pastor Arthur Pavlovsky.
00:00:05.280
It's December 29th, and this is The Ezra LeVant Show.
00:00:10.260
Why should others go to jail when you're a biggest carbon consumer I know?
00:00:14.060
There's 8,500 customers here, and you won't give them an answer.
00:00:18.140
The only thing I have to say to the government about why I publish it
00:00:23.980
The police had to send an officer to a church this Easter weekend
00:00:37.020
where the leader of the gathering reportedly shouted at the health inspector.
00:00:46.840
We're being destroyed. People are being destroyed, and they're seeking help.
00:00:52.880
They're coming to a place where they think that there are some answers.
00:00:57.260
This is not an event. This is not your technique in the neighborhood for a part of it.
00:01:03.640
We are providing necessities of life to those that you and your bosses refuse to watch.
00:01:11.500
And we're shutting it down and arresting people for simply being humans and trying to do harm.
00:01:18.180
The doors are open. Anyone welcome is welcome to come in.
00:01:28.480
Our government has given their soul to the demons, to Satan.
00:01:34.520
For a bowl of soup, for comfort. I don't know what they're doing.
00:02:05.160
I've received confirmation that after leaving worship today,
00:02:08.300
Pastor Artur Palowski was pulled over on his way home and arrested.
00:02:12.160
A pastor in Alberta for the second time has been arrested simply for preaching.
00:02:21.020
That's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. That's unacceptable. Any standards.
00:02:29.440
And I always say to people, you don't have to like me. Just look what is going on.
00:02:33.600
They dragged me. They put me like a piece of meat behind a police vehicle.
00:02:38.620
And I don't think they've done it legally. I think this was unlawful arrest.
00:02:43.060
We had never a chance to examine the court order.
00:02:47.660
Look what's going on. Open your eyes. Open your ears and see what's really going on.
00:02:55.360
Someone sent our property on fire. Someone wants us dead.
00:03:00.360
I'm thinking, my God, how evil you have to become.
00:03:04.540
After returning from a long speaking engagement, authorities closed in and took him into custody
00:03:12.760
We have footage of that troubling arrest here for you now.
00:03:21.400
How wicked in your heart that you would send someone to rot in jail for the rest of my life
00:03:29.340
on this side of eternity for feeding the poor and for opening a church.
00:03:37.820
As a pastor, as a shepherd, I have to be with my people.
00:03:41.140
I have to be with the people that are coming, the people that are trusting me,
00:03:44.940
the people that have been depressed, suicidal, and now their hope is being restored.
00:03:50.020
And they need a leader. They need their shepherds to be with them.
00:03:54.660
That's where I belong. Every pastor belongs with his people.

Part of a documentary video prepared by our Rebel News journalist about Arthur Pawlowski.
00:04:06.680
I'm going to call Arthur the Newsmaker of the Year,
00:04:11.200
and he joins us now for a special in-depth interview.
00:04:14.960
Pastor Arthur Pawlowski, pleasure to talk to you.
00:04:18.940
It has been not just a year, but I'd say a year and a half
00:04:22.640
of such terrible and horrible but also wonderful times
00:04:31.420
I never thought I would live through such an age.
00:04:33.940
How about you? You're Polish. Maybe you did think you would live through such an age.
00:04:45.060
the reason we decided to leave everything behind,
00:04:48.980
and you've got to remember my parents lost everything.
00:04:51.980
When they made the decision that it's time to take their children,
00:04:58.400
they had to leave everything behind, the whole life,
00:05:09.240
we will be living in a country that has sanity.
00:05:17.440
and I will never forget that meeting I had in embassy
00:05:22.880
when we were told, come to Canada, sell everything.
00:05:25.900
We used to have a very prosperous business in Greece.
00:05:42.080
I would never imagine I'll have to relive history,
00:05:47.980
We are repeating, or they are repeating history
00:05:55.980
Well, you know, I mentioned that you're Polish by heritage.
00:06:01.940
People can probably tell from your name and your accent,
00:06:04.920
but I think that goes to your understanding of freedom and tyranny,
00:06:09.580
including the restriction of religious freedom.
00:06:13.760
You mentioned the communists and before them the Nazis
00:06:23.400
including, I would put, Pope John Paul II in there,
00:06:35.400
went on to free the whole, you know, Soviet bloc,
00:06:41.480
So I think maybe the fact that you're from Poland
00:06:46.960
even your parents have a memory of that subjugation,
00:06:54.900
is that probably influences your thinking on this.
00:07:25.020
you can see the god that you are commanded to worship.
00:07:34.920
is the hell coming close to you or your children.
00:08:10.380
are we going to give it to the next generation?
