Tamara Lich and Chris Barber given conditional sentences

These two courageous Canadians were strangers to me until January 2022...yet they came to Ottawa to protect & defend my family from the evil de-humanizing mindset creeping into Canada, while many I've known for years were afraid to utter a single word of dissent. https://t.co/0WRitJBEX9

CTV is reporting that “Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were both given 18-month conditional sentences Tuesday for their roles in the protest that blockaded downtown Ottawa for several weeks."

It was the most well attended peaceful protest in Canadian history. "Lich and Barber were found guilty of mischief in April, while Barber was also found guilty of an additional offence of counselling others to disobey a court order."

GMAFB. He told people to think their horns. It was a stupid order. "In an Ottawa courtroom packed with Lich and Barber supporters, Justice Heather Perkins-McVey sentenced Barber to 12 months of house arrest and another six months under a strict curfew." That is ridiculous.

"Lich will serve 12 months of house arrest and 3.5 months under a curfew after getting credit for days spent in custody before she was convicted. Both have a series of exemptions associated with their house arrests allowing them to work, attend medical appointments and worship services, and run errands like getting groceries." 12 months of house arrest for what? This is insane. 

What's even more insane was what the crown was asking for. This Joe Biden / Donald Trump cancel culture needs to come to an end. Arresting people, for their political opinions is a defiant violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights.
