Pat King boasted on social media about ‘Freedom Convoy’ jamming roads, court hears

OTTAWA – “Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King boasted about his role in gridlocking downtown Ottawa and directed protesters to honk their horns in contravention of a court order in a series of videos published on social media during the events.

Those videos were tendered as evidence in his criminal trial Thursday.

King pleaded not guilty to nine charges related to his role in the protest, including a number of allegations that he counselled others to break the law by breaking a court order, with those individuals then committing mischief and intimidation.
