Summary
Pat King, a key figure in Canada’s 2022 “Freedom Convoy” protests, was found guilty on five charges, including mischief and counseling others to obstruct police, and faces up to 10 years in prison.
The protests, which blocked downtown Ottawa and key US-Canada border crossings for weeks, opposed COVID-19 mandates imposed by Prime Minister Trudeau’s government.
King was accused of inciting the blockade, coordinating disruptive actions like constant honking, and defying court orders.
He is the first protest leader convicted, while trials for other organizers are ongoing.
This is what I don’t get about the convoy and I’ve had many heated arguments with supporters that ignored this one point:
Aren’t the restrictions over now? Doesn’t that mean the lockdowns and all that were in fact a temporary measure due to an illness and not the government taking your rights and never giving it back?
Seriously!!!?? Where is the crowd that claimed we were never be allowed outside again or that we permanently lost rights?
Honestly, I think the whole conservative ideology just comes down to poor long term thinking.
Bold of you to assume that conservatives are capable of thought.
It’s because the protests worked!!1! they won!! Without their hard work, we would have still been stuck inside. /s
The liberal media want you to be afraid of fabricated threats of perfectly natural, harmless things with no real world consequences when we should be talking about boys kissing each other!
