Admitting Defeat: The Crown Is Dropping Charges Against Freedom Convoy Supporters

According to The Democracy Fund (TDF), a supporter of the Freedom Convoy 2022, who they had their legal team representing in court, has had the charges against them stayed by the Crown prosecution.

The unnamed client was facing up to 45 days in prison and had been charged with mischief, disobeying a court order, and obstructing a police officer, which is arguable an equal set of charges to what convoy spokeswoman Tamara Lich has put against her.

From the vague details that TDF has given about this case, it sounds like the organization’s lawyer, Mr. Adam Blake-Gallipeau, representing this particular client had taken a strategy of aggressively pushing the Crown to provide details to back up its charges, which evidentially it could not.

It sounds like TDF is taking the position that the onus is not on them to scramble around citing the Charter to defend their client’s attendance at the Freedom Convoy protest when the Crown cannot provided evidence a crime was even committed.

China Ramps Up Censorship As Protests Break Out Across The Nation

Chinese censors are removing videos, posts and hashtags related to protests over mortgage payments from Chinese social networking sites such as Douyin and Weibo, according to Reuters.

Videos taken by protestors and their sympathizers in the Chinese regional capitals of Wuhan, Nanchang, and Zhengzhou, have been taken down by Douyin, a Chinese TikTok-like app, citing a failure to “pass scrutiny,” according to Reuters. Protestors are upset about being forced to pay mortgages and other loans on houses that won’t be completed on schedule, according to The Wall Street Journal, as construction delays have hindered the completion of housing.

Republicans Demand DOJ Release J6 Surveillance And Police Body Cam Footage

House Republicans are demanding the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) release body and surveillance camera footage as well any other footage in connection with the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, according to a letter obtained by the Daily Caller News Foundation.

Wisconsin Rep. Glenn Grothman, Texas Rep. Louie Gohmert and South Carolina Rep. Ralph Norman first requested the information from the DOJ in October 2021. Now, they are re-upping their inquiry, asking Attorney General Merrick Garland to release the information since their constituents have a “growing concern” with the DOJ’s “apparent failure” to do so.

Canada Is Not Free Until Tamara Lich Is

Rape, murder, and counseling to commit mischief are some of the most heinous and illegal acts one could do in Canada. The only difference between them is that it’s rather easy to make bail on the first two charges. Or at least this is the Canada that Justin Trudeau has built.
