"Freedom Convoy" leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are expected to learn their sentences today nearly four years after the protest movement that blockaded downtown Ottawa for several weeks.
In April, both Lich and Barber were found guilty of mischief, while Barber was also found guilty of an additional offence of counselling others to commit mischief.
The Crown asked for Lich to be sentenced to seven years in prison, and for Barber to be sentenced to eight years.
Crown prosecutor Siobhain Wetscher said during the July sentencing hearing she is seeking stiff sentences due to the broad community harm the convoy protest inflicted on Ottawa residents.
Defence attorneys for both Lich and Barber are seeking absolute discharges with no criminal records, arguing their clients have been punished enough by three and a half years of strict bail conditions.
Lich and Barber were leaders of the protest that drew thousands of people and hundreds of trucks to downtown Ottawa in early 2022 in an effort to get all COVID-19 public health measures lifted.
The protest led to the federal government using the Emergencies Act for the first time on Feb. 14, and a multi-day police operation was launched days later to clear Ottawa's core.

Montreal has always had problems with Arab, Haitian and other Caribbean gangs since like 2009-2010. I can only imagine how much worse it is now.Montreal is now suffering from the same problems as paris, filled with muslims and blacks with some neighborhoods being straight up black/arab enclaves.
We finally found the one issue that french and english speakers can unite against!
That sounds retarded especially for a country where its already extremely hard for foreigners to move/work there, people also already have a weird views on japan being some "trad based" country so why would they wanna attract more.Meanwhile Japan elects its first woman prime minister, and she wants to stop companies from hiring foreigners.
Japan was recently trying to relax immigration laws only to immediately have nogs and jeets make international news for being horrible there.That sounds retarded especially for a country where its already extremely hard for foreigners to move/work there, people also already have a weird views on japan being some "trad based" country so why would they wanna attract more.

It doesn't sound like they will reach their goal, at least not without fraud.
No need to guess then Taleeb will dislike some replies like this one.
Yeah, and I doubt then Genghis Khan and the Ottomans had bring civilization to a land.There's a difference between colonization - bringing civilization to a land - and invading - destroying an existing civilization
Doesn't mean its ok to throw all the foreign workers under the bus, unrelax the laws and deal with the nogs/jeets starting shit.Japan was recently trying to relax immigration laws only to immediately have nogs and jeets make international news for being horrible there.
The independence movement has a LOT of very rich men behind it. Alberta cattle and oil families who want to end the federalist bullshit and are willing to put their money where their mouths are.Compared to the campaign to leave Canada, this campaign probably has a ton of financial support. They could probably just pay for signatures if they wanted to, probably lots of fraud.
I think the government was rightly afraid of what a harsh sentence would have brought about.Sentences for Tamara Lich and Chris Barber have been made. 12 months of house arrest and 6 months of curfew, with exceptions for emergencies, employment, and 5 hours a week for personal time. Tamara has gotten time served of 74 days making her curfew period 3.5 months. Chris Barber will continue to appear in court virtually in November for the matter regarding Big Red.

WoRdS aRe ViOlEnCe! "Hold the line" was a terrorist exhortation! /Ontario idiot modeAbout the same sentence as a violent assault for a nonviolent protest
Had they got the nine years the prosecutors wanted it would really have been over for Canada. The country would not survive the Armageddon of meme lists comparing violent crime sentences to a mischief charge.I think the government was rightly afraid of what a harsh sentence would have brought about.
If they"d gotten those sentences, there'd be another convoy, and one that would be far less well-behaved.Had they got the nine years the prosecutors wanted it would really have been over for Canada.
