what's become known as the "Freedom Convoy"
They wish. "Karen convoy" or Needle Weenie Express" is more like it.
also the term 'protesters' .... if it were any other ethnic group in the country that did this ... no one would have a problem labelling them 'terrorists'
just think of it ... if a few hundred all Indigenous protesters had taken control of the capital like these guys did ... how many would have been beaten, jailed, bloodied and bruised on the first day? ... after a month, it wouldn't have been if they would have been shot, it would be a question of how many were shot.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
One of the organizers of the 2022 convoy protests in Ottawa told truckers to "grab that horn switch" and "let it roll as long as possible" if police tried to dislodge them, according to video played at his trial Thursday.
The two organizers of what's become known as the "Freedom Convoy" are facing charges for the role they played in spearheading the protests against COVID-19 restrictions, which gridlocked large swaths of downtown Ottawa for several weeks.
Barber is facing an additional charge of counselling others to disobey a Feb. 7, 2022 court order that banned loud honking in Ottawa's downtown core.
The majority of videos introduced as evidence so far have featured Barber, a trucker from Swift Current, Sask., whose social media exploded in popularity leading up to and during the protests.
As the videos sourced from his TikTok account played, Barber sat in the first row of the courtroom, directly behind his lawyers, occasionally jotting notes into a notebook.
That happened again Thursday, as court wrapped up early to allow lawyers to consider legal arguments over issues that have come up over the admissibility of certain evidence — specifically, some of the social media posts.
