The high profile trial of two “Freedom Convoy” leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber began Tuesday, with Crown lawyers calling on an Ottawa police officer to testify.
The court was shown an 11-minute video of police footage gathered during the protests that became known as the “Freedom Convoy” in February 2022.
Lich and Barber helped lead thousands of protesters and a convoy of truckers to Ottawa, who occupied the streets of Ottawa for nearly four weeks. They rallied the protesters, and told them to “hold the line” when police tried to break up the honking crowds. They also raised millions of dollars for the movement.
The charges against Lich and Barber include mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation.
I read that she has already spent over a month in jail for this.
I’d say she’s itching to become a conservative martyr by being very publicly sent to prison by a “tyrannical government”. She’s hoping people will protest for her freedom.
Cool.
I just want to see her behind bars and survive Canada’s very shitty women’s prison system.
I think she should be sentenced to being locked in a cell for almost four weeks of honking.
Maybe they could place her in a cell with a repeated honking noise going on for weeks
Weird, there seems to be an echo in this thread.
What’s that? The honking is drowning everything out. I hope Lich gets to have a few weeks of loud honking outside her cell.
I’d rather it inside her cell but I’m kind of an asshole.
