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.

    Good. I hope they get the book thrown at them. Their stated purpose, which they put on their website, was the overthrow of our government and it’s replacement with a junta with them forming 2/3rds of it.

    I hope the solution to their trial is CA and the US hold a joint venture to drop them in the middle of a fffn deserted island and leave them there.

    There is zero accountability with the government. The state can declare “an emergency” over a peaceful protest that scares the shit out of them, freeze protestors and supporters bank accounts and then rake the protest organizers using lawfare.

    Where is the accountabiliy for this government over-reach? Frickin brutal.

      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.

        Don’t recall, if true it is based

        filled the air with toxic fumes

        Really? Thats your complaint, climate change?

        left excrement on the streets

        False

        were not allowing people to sleep in their own homes and all this for 3 weeks.

        False

        Let me remind you that private companies didnt want to tow the trucks

        Based

        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?
