‘Freedom Convoy’ trial needs judge from outside Ottawa, Crown says. The application for a judge from outside Ottawa is meant to ensure there is no risk of “unconscious” bias in the case.

OTTAWA—The Crown wants an out-of-town judge to preside over the criminal trial of two main “Freedom Convoy” organizers, as one of them argues his charges should be stayed because the disclosure of a huge volume of cellphone records violated his rights to privacy and a fair trail.

That’s because there will be a “link” between any abuse finding and a future criminal trial, Mack said. But the case took a turn last month, when Barber’s lawyer Diane Magas filed an application to have his charges stayed — or dropped without a guilty or not-guilty finding. Magas alleged the Crown lawyer prosecuting the case, Moiz Karimjee, violated Barber’s privacy and right to a fair trial by disclosing more than 4,000 pages of cellphone records that police obtained through an illegitimate search.

The search gleaned more than 4,000 pages of data, including messages from Barber to his wife, kids, business clients and others that were filed in court last year, Magas’s application says.

It was a biased joke right from the begining. There is no justice in what is left of Canada.

another red herring from the convoy. You're guilty. In any territory or province. But sure, keep playing your game. It's just us taxpayers footing this crap.

Might help if they aren't hand picked by Your boss at the Star, Trudeau.

Just think, if Tamara was an immigrant of colour and put someone in this hospital with a lead pipe, she would have been out on bail the next week. When you stand up for freedom, they want to ruin your life.

Possible convoy activities in OttawaThere is an increased police presence and parking restrictions downtown due to possible convoy activities in the capital. CTV's Leah Larcoque reports. Wow, this is being milked for all its political advantage! However ... it causes more and more centrists like me to see what bad leadership really looks like. Imagine if our PM could actually resolve a problem instead of sending his divisive flying monkeys on what threatens him.

Calls for Trudeau to step down during ‘Freedom Convoy’ traced back to Russian proxy sitesBeyond overt propaganda outlets, like Russia’s RT, disinformation spread through proxy sites and on social media messaging apps like Telegram, which was widely used by the convoy’s genuine grassroots supporters. NatObserver Caroline Orr is an unreliable source who misleads often. NatObserver So surprised. DavidWCochrane NatObserver We need to reflect in the dangers of disinformation and deliberate act disrupt to our elections. It’s easier to change the outcome of a single member district election outcome in a FPTP election than it is to change in a proportional electoral system

Did Justin Trudeau need the Emergencies Act to stop the ‘Freedom Convoy’? The top questions the judge will address within daysJustice Paul Rouleau’s report into the Trudeau government’s decision to use the Emergencies Act to end the so-called Freedom Convoy could come out this week In the Canadian Justice System, we have seen the AG independence compromised, the RCMP Independence compromised, the Judge in the EA inquiry was hand picked by the Liberals... So it is a safe bet to expect more of the same. Because neither OttawaPolice nor ottawacity nor fordnation did their jobs at all, there was only 1 Option left to stop the 3 week abuse & harassment of Ottawa residents!! Thank goodness PMJT took action bc NO one else did!! Lol
