Crown attorneys issue rare public response to Pierre Poilievre attack on ‘freedom convoy’ prosecution
A provincial prosecutors’ association has taken the rare step of issuing a public response to what it describes as attacks “on the independence of the prosecutorial system” and the “rule of law.”
The Ontario Crown Attorneys’ Association, in an open letter released Tuesday, primarily targets recent remarks by Conservative politicians who criticized prosecutors for pursuing what they characterized as excessively harsh sentences in the “Freedom Convoy” case, suggesting that violent offenders often face lighter consequences.
