None of the local witnesses the court heard from this week had any contact with Lich or Barber, who are both accused of mischief and counselling others to commit mischief, among other charges.

If you organize a murder and encourage the person who commits the murder but don’t have any contact with the murder victim are you free and clear?

Barber and Lich are garbage humans who organized and encouraged the violation of the people of Ottawa.

    I never understood the irony of these terrorists hating Canada and loving Canada at the same time. They don’t share Canadian values, and their extremist views only aim to cause harm.

      It makes sense when viewed as the actions of an immature child.

      “It’s mine and if I can’t have it then no one can.”

      It’s not based on logic, it’s entirely based on their own perception of greed and the requirements for fulfillment.

        With an added dose of zero sum game.

      Canada is the best country in the world to live in and they want to destroy everything that makes it the best country in the world to live in.

      You don’t love Canada if that’s what you aim to do.

        They are the same as the MAGAts in the USA. They claim to love America and then proceed to tear it down because what they really love is a fantasy version of it. It is a fundamentally selfish version. They want all the rights and privileges with none of the responsibilities. No one should be able to infringe upon their freedom of expression, but the gays, minorities, immigrants etc should shut the hell up.

        They do not love America, they do not love Canada. They love having authority and power over others.

      They hate the Canada that is. They’re in love with the idea of a Canada that may have been.

      MAGA is a good example of this. Many of the things that they think will make America “great” are actually pretty awful and/or came at somebody else’s expense

      They don’t love Canada. They love the USA or whatever other foreign interests manipulated them into occupying Ottawa.

    Wasn’t that what Charles Manson did?

        One of the reasons I refuse to refer to the Qonvoyers as “truckers”. Every union that is active in the trucking industry and all trucking trade associations released statements disavowing the Qonvoyers. Actual working truckers were often caught up in border blockades by weekend “trucker” cosplayers with Dodge Ram 2500 dualies.

          Same. I have a friend who is a long haul trucker. He was vaccinated, like the vast majority of professional truckers, and running loads back and forth to the US throughout the pandemic. He was always stressed about what was going to happen at the border but he worked the whole time. He though the protesters were idiots.
