It is impossible not to conclude that Henry’s office has been animated by a hostility to prayer and worship during the pandemic

She has been widely hailed as an expert, a calming figure of public confidence. So great is her popularity that she, like Gov. Andrew Cuomo of New York, published a book about her management of the pandemic.I haven’t read the book, but I wonder if Teddy Roosevelt made an appearance, as Dr. Henry certainly has applied TR’s foreign policy advice to her public health orders: “Speak softly and carry a big stick.

It is impossible not to conclude that Dr. Henry’s office was animated by a hostility to prayer and worship. The evidence? Her orders permitted a dozen or so people to meet in a church hall for an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting. If the same group went into the actual church, often a larger space, for a worship service that involved less speaking than the AA meeting, Henry’s big stick came crashing down.

B.C. Supreme Court Chief Justice Christopher Hinkson nevertheless expressed his astonishment at the unlimited, unaccountable powers Dr. Henry had been granted by the B.C. government.

God isn't real. If she is she can't save you from Covid. Doing what Dr. Henry says will save you from Covid.

”Forget God. Dr. Henry is supreme now.' Indeed. The good Dr. has saved more people from death due to the effects of the virus than God. Why is God letting bad things happen to good people?

First TheTorontoSun , now the are becoming Briebart tabloids 👎

Still hasn’t resigned or been fired.... Shill

Uhhh no. People know I am no Bonnie Henry fan; I think she has fumbled and bungled her way through this plenty. BUT ... let's be truthful about this issue: It's not anything related to religion AT ALL. Covid doesn't care if your atheist, Druid or born again. ANY gathering is fuel
