Canada is about to be ruled by an unelected majority who have shown themselves to silence dissent through lawfare, financial sanctions, and excessive force.
I admit, this one shocked me.
Buckle up.
This is what your government did to the Freedom Convoy that had a Charter enshrined right to demonstrate!
How can anyone support this party ??
Never Forget
Never Forgive !
This is the original Epstein whistle blower, dutch supermodel Karen Mulder.
She lost her career, was put on medication and into a psych ward for speaking out.
Don’t forget her because she’s a hero.
That’s great, although one would hope no future government would ever consider such a move in the future. What will the official opposition do about the MPs still in Cabinet that broke the law and abused their powers to unlawfully breach the rights and freedoms of Canadians for a peaceful protest? What is your solution for accountability and justice? Without accountability and justice your post is simply meaningless words that all but ensure this WILL happen again.
Four years ago I made a phone call to a Saskatchewan truck driver whose livelihood, and those of his fellow truckers, was being threatened by the Canadian government. I offered my skillset and my support.
What followed could have never been foreseen.
We watched an entire country come together, supporting each other, and pushing back against a government drunk on power.
I shudder to think where we would be at present it weren’t for the courage and bravery of @ChrisBarber1975
Happy Convoy-versary Chris. I’ll follow you into to the fire any day my friend, and I will have your six until the day I die. 🫡
1/ Tamara Lich and Chris Barber SENTENCING 🧵
The MOST comprehensive coverage ANYWHERE. Follow along for my courtroom reporting live from Ottawa.
It's finally here. Today Tamara and Chris will learn their fate.
The government has turned them into boogeymen and blamed them for the "ills" of the Freedom Convoy. I have sat through the bulk of this trial and the extraordinary unimpressive evidence the crown has presented.
Social media posts saying hold the line. Social media posts saying be peaceful and Ioving. Social media posts BEGGING for communication with the government stepping on us all falling in deaf ears. And a couple posts expressing frustration with the government's boot.
The trucker protest saved lives. That's a fact.
And for that the government has said Chris and Tamara should spend 8 and 7 years in prison respectively.
Tamara beat all of her charges except 1 - mischief.
Chris Barber beat almost all of his charges except mischief and counselling disobey a court order.
So they should go to jail for the better part of a decade? While other, often violent protesters on the left walk free or have their charges dropped?
It's wrong. It's unfair. It's unjust.
The administration of justice requires a fair and fitting sentence for the crime. Even 6 months in jail would be unfit to the crime and the facts of the case. Parity. Impact. Circumstances.
These are non-violent offences and first time offenders with impeccable family and professional lives. They are extraordinarily pro social and probably have some of the greatest public support for any convicted person in Canada in many, many years.
Distinguished defence attorney Lawrence Greenspon said it himself. It's very, very rare for him to be able to talk about the POSITIVE IMPACT of a client's crime. Yet alone so extensively. The letters of support flooded in telling him just how much positive change the trucker protest made in their lives. Some said it saved them.
And it's all true. In my humble opinion, the life-saving impact of the trucker protest vastly outweighs any negative impact of horns.
Horns which Tamara never honked. Horns which they're not responsible for. Other people's actions.
But the crown said no, they stood SHOULDER TO SHOULDER with them. They're a principal and a party, and an aider and abettor to... Trucks parked on the street and horns.
So 7+ years in jail?
This is a dark day for our country. Pray for our country. Pray for Chris and Tamara.

We cannot understand the true nature of the Universe, unless we question deeply.
I want to know what is real, even if the answer is total obliteration of my consciousness.
@PierrePoilievre Thank you for speaking up ... being from woodstock knowing what happened to an eight year old girl and where both of the offenders are (one is done serving their time) the other is basically in open living this is a disgrace. #istandwithchris&Tamara
Let’s get this straight: while rampant violent offenders are released hours after their most recent charges & antisemitic rioters vandalize businesses, terrorize daycares & block traffic without consequences, the Crown wants 7 years prison time for the charge of mischief for Lich & Barber.
How is this justice?
