Calgary Mayor Jyoti Godek took to her Twitter account on February 26, demanding a police crackdown and promising to write new municipal bylaws to limit what she calls "vile lies" and "hatred" directed at drag performers.

BREAKING: Pastor Derek Reimer will remain in jail until at least March 14.

That will be his next bail review.

That will be a whole 13 days in custody by then for peacefully protesting an all-ages drag event.

And Derek's lawyers says the conditions will cause a breach and send the pastor back to jail.

The crown appearing today is not the crown assigned to the case.

The new crown, who is not here, needs to review the conditions to come up with some that are "more reasonable."

Ok, here we go. Pastor Derek is appearing via CCTV from the Calgary Remand. There is also a lawyer representing the City of Calgary here.

Pastor Derek offered bail last week with a $3000 promise to pay and conditions that (I think) include staying away from Drag Queen events.
