Summary

Pat King, a key figure in Canada’s 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests, was found guilty on five charges, including mischief and counseling others to obstruct police, and faces up to 10 years in prison.

The protests, which blocked downtown Ottawa and key US-Canada border crossings for weeks, opposed COVID-19 mandates imposed by Prime Minister Trudeau’s government.

King was accused of inciting the blockade, coordinating disruptive actions like constant honking, and defying court orders.

He is the first protest leader convicted, while trials for other organizers are ongoing.

      True! I hate how drag queens are always making kids sleep in freezing cold trucks in the middle of winter and carry gas cans on their backs; using them as human shields and road blocks; making “the littles” (puke) sing and make freedom speeches “for the truckers” over their radio while their minders get shitfaced at noon on a Tuesday…

      And when Canadians started asking out loud, “where tf is child services??? these kids should be in school!” the convites got a bunch of orange tshirts and Every Child Matters flags. Sneered about it on social media. Absolute filth.
