The sentencing of Freedom Convoy organizers delivers measured justice for the mischief that paralyzed Ottawa, tormented residents with endless noise and necessitated the Emergencies Act. It balances accountability with mercy, deterring future disruptions despite calls for prison. Justice has been served with appropriate consequences for illegal actions.

The 18-month conditional sentences given to the two behind an insurrection resembling that of Jan. 6 are far too lenient.
