Yeah. I don't get this claim they do next to nothing.

I smoked for years. Filtered, non filtered, and later "lights". The only difference with filtered and lights is a row or two of holes punched in the filter so you pull in more air.

The difference of smoking a filter vs a non filter though is night and day.

I'd be into a Trump Gaddafi'ng

What a pathetic little child rapist Trump is.

This is some serious North Korea misinformation. It is amazing at how fast the US is falling.

So now when people read the Epstein lists and documents, and a name is blacked out, everyone assumes its Trump.

I'm not sure if this is a better look for rapist and sex trafficker Donald J Trump.

Hey?! Why Come You Don't Have A Tattoo?

Christianity thinks slavery, rape and stoning, is allowed through the word of god. It's a horrible religion and their god is a special kind of monster.

You can answer your own question by looking on the church website and see if they do a regular Friday service.

From what I can tell, they don't and didn't have any scheduled. It is not a regular event.

If anyone knows about tacos, it would be the President of Mexico.

there’s no way anyone needs a permit to sing songs in a church

Sorry. In this case you're wrong.

This wasn't a regular service, with the regular church patrons, and the regular hymn book. This was a special musical concert, from a guy on a musical tour of Canada.

At this point the church is no longer a church but a rented hall for the purpose of holding a musical concert.

In Montreal, you need a permit for that AND the city recommends you submit your application 90 days in advance of the concert date - which they did not do.

If they want to do charitable work, they can register as a regular charity and follow the same rules as everyone.

Outside of that, churches are just a regular business.

issued a ticket with a fine in the amount of $2,500 for engaging in Christian worship at a Friday service

This is not true at all.

This was not a regular Friday service. This was a special music concert. In Montreal, per the bylaws "Events with 50 to 3,000 people in attendance require prior authorization." They also recommend submitting the application 90 days in advance.

They wanted to have a show, only planned a few days in advance, they didn't have permits, the city said no and if they continue they would get fined. They continued, they got fined.

I don't see what the problem is here.

This has nothing to do with religion. The same thing would have happened if fucking U2 wanted to play a coffee shop with 60 seat capacity with a day or two notice. The entire point of getting authorization with 90 days notice is so you don't have pop-up concerts happening around the city at venues that aren't adequate and might cause things like traffic and parking problems.

Having said that, this is perfect for Christians and this MAGA cuntface. They love playing the role of someone being terribly persecuted. They don't follow the rules then cry giant baby Jesus tears when presented with consequences.

The MAGA dude sees this whole thing as a win because he gets free press, gets to hop on his huge travelling cross and sob to his cult, and you know for a FACT he isn't the one stuck with the fine. The church is.
