Actual recent example of compelled speech

Recently I wrote in a blog post a concise summary of what I understand the fundamental right to free speech to be. It can be summarized by four rules. The third one (which I go more in detail here) stated that you should not be forced to say what you don't want to say. In other words, that compelled speech is fundamentally against the concept of free speech.

This particular aspect of free speech might seem mostly theoretical. Sure, in a free society where free speech is a fundamental right nobody should be forced to say anything they don't want to say, but surely that doesn't happen in practice, especially from the part of the government? The rule is important, of course, but surely it's one of the aspects of free speech that doesn't really get infringed, especially not by the government, and thus it's mostly theoretical? What government would force someone to say something he or she doesn't want to say?

Except it's not just theoretical. It does happen in real life situations, as a very recent example showcases.

Artur Pawlowski is a pastor in Canada who some months ago became famous (at least on communication platforms that weren't blacked out by the mainstream media) for defying government health officials and their mandate to shut down a church event he was presiding over. He kicks out the officials who had gone to his church to demand a Passover event to be shut down, calling them Nazis and Gestapo Fascists.

He was later arrested in a completely incomprehensible manner. Rather than going to his home to arrest him, they decided to stop him while he was driving in the middle of a highway with a half dozen police cars and arrest him right there, in an incredibly dangerous place, in the middle of a busy highway.

He was charged with "contempt of Court" for defying and refusing to follow the mandates, to fines and probation.

And here we come to the absolutely perfect example of an egregious violation of his right to free speech, in the form of compelled speech. One of the terms for his probation, demanded by the judge, was this:

This not just interpretation, or reading between the lines, or exaggeration. This is an absolutely perfect example of compelled speech, by a judge of law in an official ruling.

Even in Canada this is illegal, and when Pawlowski appealed the court order to the Alberta Court of Appeal, the order was suspended, pending investigation (which as of writing this has not yet concluded).
