Following his second arrest, Pastor Derek Reimer is appearing in front of a judge for another bail hearing. The Calgary pastor was first arrested on March 2 after an incident at a protest against an all-ages drag event held in a Calgary public library. He was then held in bail for nearly five days before agreeing to conditions.
Earlier this week, Pastor Reimer's second arrest was at another protest against a public library-hosted drag event. Police allege Reimer's involvement was a breach of his bail requirements.
