The leaders of the \u0022Freedom Convoy\u0022 are preparing to answer to criminal charges next week for their part in the massive demonstration that gridlocked Ottawa last year \u002D\u002D but the stakes go beyond the actions of two protest organizers.
And this at time when faith in institutions is waning, Kempa said.
They are facing charges of mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation.“I think it’s kind of poetic in a way, actually, that we have to pack up and go back there again,” Lich said of her plans to return of Ottawa. She spoke earlier this month at an event in Vernon, B.C., where she was promoting the book she wrote about her experience at the protest.
Like many people arrested during the protest in Ottawa, Barber was released shortly after his arrest. Lich, however, was held in jail for a total of 49 days. Four months later, in June, she was arrested again on a Canada-wide warrant after the Crown learned that she attended a gala in Toronto where she had been photographed with a fellow convoy organizer.
While some would like to see Lich and others face criminal consequences for the convoy, Kempa said the trial will have to focus on the very specific charges before the court. Many behaviours could be considered mischief, he said, and the charge offers a lot of latitude for the Crown and courts in terms of deciding on a suitable sentence.
