A Calgary pastor on trial for protesting at several library drag storytime events has been found guilty of criminal harassment and breaches of his bail conditions but was acquitted Wednesday on charges of causing a disturbance.

Derek Reimer’s trial wrapped up this week after Justice Karen Molle heard closing arguments from prosecutor Matt Dalidowicz and defence lawyer Andrew MacKenzie.

On Wednesday, Molle convicted Reimer on four counts of breaching his bail conditions and one count of harassment. A date for sentencing will be set later this week.

    Reimer runs Mission 7, a street ministry which, according to its website, hosts gatherings four days a week in Calgary.

    Well that’s terrifying, seeing as LGBTQI+ kids often end up on the street.

    The upshot is every time this guy starts freaking out I find a cool new event to attend.
