Canadian pastor who was arrested, forced to kneel in rain, for holding church service despite Covid ban is in jail again for preaching to truckers. Jan. 6 defendants in jail a year without bail, no trial yet. If a dangerous suspect is kept in jail for a month before trial, that is pretrial detention. But if someone is kept in jail a year and still no trial date is set, that is no-trial detention. The KGB and Gestapo were good at that. But we’re getting better with practice.
These acts are incompatible with a free country. That is assuming the US and Canada are still free countries. As a lawyer would object, I am assuming something not in evidence.
