I'd try to muster up some sympathy if I didn't know so many churches/temples of so many different religious groups that were capable of having services while following the rules.
If you want to do your own thing, you better be prepared to pay the consequences.
Propaganda and spying are nothing new but they got caught. Even use of military tactics not new. But to stop a church service?
Good. Seems the police helicopter was searching for someone and they came across the ILLEGAL gathering. Follow the damn law, and don't try and color an exception because of your favorite mythological entity you choose to keep active in your imagination.
Follow. The. Law.
If you don't like the law, lobby to change it. Oh, BTW, do you know the province this occurred in is the most right-wing one in all of Canada? It makes Georgia or Texas look liberal.

I'm gonna assume you're Canadian, until I learn otherwise, because no American would EVER say that the government should be able to determine when and how one worships.
In particular, the law that says, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, nor prohibiting the free exercise thereof." You know, the Law of the Land?
If flopped on its face as soon a new virus showed up last December. And has yet to recover even now.
Sorry, libbies. It has become clear that trusting the Law, and the Courts that enforce it, is a futile exercise. Why do you think more and more Americans are arming themselves for the last year, and guns have been on back order for longer than they ever have in our country's history?

In my state, Governor Newsom had no problem saying that. And closing lots of churches. Bars and pot stores stayed open, though.

I’m an American. I think the government should not allow human sacrifice as part of a worship service.
