Today is April 5, 2021. The poll was taken January 6, 2021. January+February+March = 3, not 4.
It's not me making the issue out of it.

I think you will find that a warrant is only necessary where dwellings and premises actually used as dwellings are involved....

Are warrants not required to enter private properties? Churches are designated as such, no?

I 'm under the impression that it is a criminal offence to disrupt a religious service such as mass?

Not necessarily. Dwellings, pretty much always unless exigent circumstances. Most Acts spell out search, entry etc authority.

Most churches usually have a rectory where the priest lives on the property.
I do not have details for the Calgary church.

Only the portion actually used as a dwelling would be the “dwelling”, where warrant requirements are concerned.

One point to remember - saying that the majority of Canadians are in favor of something doesn't make it right - if the majority favor lockdowns but the constitution prohibits lockdowns that's what should count - even if it is for public safety - I personally think a lot of things have happened during this pandemic that are illegal
