The protesters drove hundreds of vehicles across the country and gathered in Ottawa, the capital city, where they staged a rally near the Parliament Hill. They demanded the abolition of all vaccine mandates and lockdowns in Canada. The convoy protest attracted support from some conservative and far-right groups, as well as celebrities and politicians from other countries. It also raised millions of dollars through online fundraising. However, the protest also faced criticism and opposition from the authorities, the media, and the public. The convoy protest caused traffic disruptions, economic losses, and security risks. It also sparked counter-protests and clashes with the police. The Canadian government did not give in to the protesters’ demands and invoked the Emergencies Act to restore order. The convoy protest lasted for about a month and ended in February 2022.
The criminal trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, two of the key organizers of the Freedom Convoy, is underway in Ottawa. They are facing charges of mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation. The trial is expected to last at least 16 days and will focus on whether they encouraged protesters to defy police orders by remaining in Ottawa after authorities ordered everyone to clear the streets.
The lawyers of Lich and Barber are arguing about the admissibility of Facebook evidence, which includes videos and posts that show their involvement in the protest. The defence claims that the evidence was obtained without a warrant and violates their privacy rights.
