Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber said Tuesday the anti-vaccine mandate protest that gripped Ottawa for weeks last winter was beset by “conflict” among different factions pushing their own agendas.
Claiming he only ever wanted to lead a peaceful protest against vaccine mandates, Barber told the Public Order Emergency Commission (POEC) inquiry investigating the convoy that he had nothing to do with a death threat directed at Deputy Prime Minister Chrystia Freeland.
Someone threatened to “put a bullet” in Freeland’s head the day after someone tied to Barber’s group circulated flyers to the convoy that made inflammatory claims about her relationship with the World Economic Forum (WEF).
