LaBarbera and a local Saskatchewan man, Bill Whatcott, were displaying placards with anti-gay and pro-life messages and tried to set up an information desk on the grounds of the University of Regina after they were told by the university not to.

The pair were arrested after they refused to leave and had to be led out of the university in handcuffs by the police.
The Regina Provincial Court on Thursday heard they were asked to leave the campus because their activities violated the university's policy on maintaining a respectful work environment, CBC/Radio-Canada reported.
Outside the courthouse, LaBarbara and his supporters also protested with signs before proceedings began.
LaBarbera tweeted on Friday, 'Canada is on its way to becoming a Politically Correct Police State--esp. on homosexuality but also guns etc.'
