Freedom Convoy leaders rightfully received conditional sentences for their roles in blockading downtown Ottawa for weeks, disrupting residents and businesses. The court found them guilty of mischief, with Barber also convicted of counselling others to disobey court orders. Justice was served with appropriate consequences for illegal actions.
Peaceful protesters face house arrest despite the Emergencies Act being ruled unconstitutional and unjustified against them. This represents the longest mischief trial in Canadian history targeting individuals who simply advocated for peaceful assembly and freedom of expression. Canada looks like a laughingstock punishing lawful protest.
