Looks like ol' Art isn't having the best of days:

The Alberta Independence Party, a political party that aims to reduce the province's reliance on the federal government has parted ways with its leader, Calgary street pastor Artur Pawlowski.

In a social media post, the organization said it made the decision after "serious consideration and deliberation" and was because Pawlowski no longer represented the party's views correctly.

Pawlowski says the Independence Party's decision was given to him on March 28 – his 50th birthday.

In a Facebook statement, he accused the party of "spearheading" an attack on him and his religious beliefs.

"For months the board was bombarding me and demanding that I stop talking about God, moral principles and true freedom and independence. I was told multiple times that I cannot talk about grooming of children, drag queen shows, abortion and corruption in our present government," he said.

He added that he "could not submit" to the party's demands and was told that he could no longer be the leader of the party.

"I never had, nor ever will, abandon my faith and moral standards. I have been and always will fight for everyone’s freedom even if I disagree with someone else’s life choices. I expected the same from this party."
