Canada: Leaders of Freedom Convoy face years as political prisoners

Source: New York Post

“The leaders of Canada’s ‘Freedom Convoy’ are facing up to eight years in prison, an ‘abusive’ sentencing recommendation critics are ripping as ‘political vengeance.’ Tamara Lich and Chris Barber sat in an Ottawa courtroom for their sentencing hearings this week after being found guilty in April of mischief for organizing the trucker protest against then Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s ultra-strict vaccine mandate. The protest paralyzed the Great White North’s capital for three weeks in 2022. The Crown is seeking seven years for Lich, 51, of Alberta, and eight for Barber, of Saskatchewan — who was also found guilty of counseling others to disobey a court order.” (07/26/25)
