On a recent episode of The Ezra Levant Show, Lawyer James Kitchen from the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms called in to talk about the arrest of Pastor James Coates.

Here's a bit of what James Kitchen had to say:

“If we weren't the boiling frog right now, we'd be shocked.

“The idea of a pastor being thrown in jail is so utterly antithetical and foreign to a nation that purports to be free and democratic. I mean, that's something you expect to hear from China or North Korea — and we often do hear it.

“Hopefully that's ringing some bells for people to think — okay, I'm hearing now something that's happening on a regular basis in a totalitarian dystopian nightmare, like China and North Korea. Maybe that means that there's something wrong with our country right now...”

This is just an excerpt from the full Ezra Levant Show.
