A Calgary pastor says he is facing more jail time over his refusal to write an apology letter to a local librarian that he confronted about three years ago during a protest against drag queen story time for children.

The pastor, Derek Reimer, was previously arrested and charged for protesting library drag queen story times for children between 2023 and 2024. He was cleared of some of the charges, but an Alberta Court of King’s Bench tossed out the acquittal in July, ordering a retrial.
