Two of the main Freedom Convoy organizers, Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are charged with mischief, counsel to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police.

Lich and follow convoy organizer Chris Barber are scheduled to stand trial in Ottawa starting Tuesday for their role in the three-week protest that overtook the streets around downtown and sparked a national emergency declaration.

In the final days of the demonstration, as police began to order people to leave, organizers and supporters used “hold the line” as a rallying cry, as words of encouragement and as a salutation.

    They blocked the city, filled the air with toxic fumes, left excrement on the streets, were not allowing people to sleep in their own homes and all this for 3 weeks. Let me remind you that private companies didnt want to tow the trucks and it took police forces from multiple places in Canada to remove the protestors, the Ottawa police force didnt have a chance to do it on its own. The state of emergency was justified.

      it took police forces from multiple places in Canada to remove the protestors, the Ottawa police force didnt have a chance to do it on its own.

      So? It was a peaceful protest, not a fiery but peaceful protest. What the police did was just plain wrong, regardless of them following orders.

      The state of emergency was justified.

      Your all in favor of using state force to crush a peaceful protest and freeze bank accounts? WTF man? What is wrong with you?
