My prediction: They’re going to get off with a fine or a stern warning. The courts seem to be swinging more in their favour these days for some stupid reason.
Lawyers for Lich and Barber accused the Crown of “cherry-picking” evidence, while prosecutors accused the defence of the same.
They aren’t going to bring their own evidence. Doesn’t sound much like cherry-picking to me. Sounds like the evidence (probably mostly from social media and captured by the chuds in the convoy) is pretty complete. But what do I know.
“You’ve selectively chosen the evidence that is most damning, but it’s an incomplete picture!”
“That’s correct. This is an adversarial legal proceeding, where we select and present the most compelling evidence of guilt, and you select and present the most exculpatory evidence… would you like to present any evidence?”
Reminds of the one nutjob in my city who stands on a bridge all day with huge sign saying “Tamara Lich is innocent” while he swings his Canadian flag and salutes traffic. He makes me so fucking mad 🙂
In BC there are still crazy people who stand on the overpass on highway 1 with various signs like Trudeau is a liar, or vaccines are fake, etc. changes every week what the theme is.
Can’t imagine how they have nothing better to do with their time.
It’s an utter failure of the Canadian MSM that people still think the freedumm caravan had anything to do with truckers or mandates. This group of organizers set out to perform a CPC endorsed Jan 6th styled event intended to take over our Parliament building and end our democracy. They failed, but It’s still treasonous.
Their statements were treasonous, I’ll grant you, but their actions didn’t go beyond rallies on government properties and congesting streets in the capitol. I think the right legal action is happening, although there could be more people charged. While I think these people are scum, I don’t feel like they crossed the line into illegal statements. There is a difference between saying the elected officials should step down, saying we will remove those officials by force, and actually trying to overthrow the government.
Taking steps to activate the MOU plan of sieging our Parliament and overthrowing our government is in itself a crime of conspiracy to commit sedition. (seditious conspiracy) Many CPC politicians actively participated in the effort.
I saw that, and if there is evidence of that group being in contact with the two people in this article, that would be relevant. As an aside, looks like a couple of the Alberta people pled out. Hopefully the others get consequences they won’t forget.
