Verdict for Freedom Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber coming next spring

From LifeSiteNews
Tamara Lich says her and co-leader Chris Barber’s verdict for their involvement in 2022 protests against Canada’s COVID mandates will be revealed on March 12. Lich and Barber face up to 10 years in prison.
Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich says her and co-leader Chris Barber’s verdict for being the face of the protests in 2022 that called for an end to all COVID mandates in Canada will be made on March 12, 2025.
Lich made the announcement in an X post on December 4, relaying her dissatisfaction that pro-Hamas protestors, who had swarmed and occupied government buildings in the first week of the month, got away more or less without charges.
“On the same day protestors swarmed, overcame and occupied a government building in our nations capital, joined & even supported by some elected officials, @ChrisBarber1975 and I received news of a verdict date for The Longest Mischief Trial of All Time,” she wrote.
Lich blasted the fact that the protests that occurred in Ottawa resulted in no apparent “charges” nor “threats of ten years in prison.”
“No snipers. No frozen bank accounts. No threats to take their pets or children, their business or vehicle insurance or their drivers licenses. No trampling horses, no battered senior citizens, no police beating protestors with their firearms. Nothing,” she wrote.
Lich said she lamented the fact that their verdict is still some three months away. However, she said that “Vindication is coming!”
In another post on X, Lich blasted Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s Canada, saying there is a double standard of justice on display.
“In Trudeau’s Canada, it’s ok to violently take over and occupy a government building if you’re wearing approved scarves and shouting approved slogans,” she wrote.
Lich observed that if one is a “regular” hard-working “Canadian” who simply wants the “return of your God given rights and freedoms, and do so in a peaceful manner,” it’s off to “jail for you, two and a half years of crippling lawfare, and the longest mischief trial of all time.”
Lich and Barber’s trial concluded back in September more than a year after it began. It was only originally scheduled to last 16 days.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich and Barber face a possible 10-year prison sentence for their role in the 2022 Freedom Convoy. LifeSiteNews reported extensively on their over-year-long trial.
As reported by LifeSiteNews, some protesters charged for participating in the Freedom Convoy have seen their charges dropped.
In early 2022, thousands of Canadians from coast to coast came to Ottawa to demand an end to COVID mandates in all forms. Despite the peaceful nature of the protest, Trudeau’s government invoked the Emergencies Act on February 14. Trudeau revoked the EA on February 23.
The EA controversially allowed the government to freeze the bank accounts of protesters, conscript tow truck drivers, and arrest people for participating in assemblies the government deemed illegal.

Court Orders Bank Freezing Records in Freedom Convoy Case

A Canadian court has ordered the release of documents that could shed light on how federal authorities and law enforcement worked together to freeze the bank accounts of a protester involved in the Freedom Convoy.
Both the RCMP and TD Bank are now required to provide records related to Evan Blackman, who took part in the 2022 demonstrations and had his accounts frozen despite not being convicted of any crime at the time.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) announced the Ontario Court of Justice ruling. The organization is representing Blackman, whose legal team argues that the actions taken against him amounted to a serious abuse of power.
“The freezing of Mr. Blackman’s bank accounts was an extreme overreach on the part of the police and the federal government,” said his lawyer, Chris Fleury. “These records will hopefully reveal exactly how and why Mr. Blackman’s accounts [were] frozen.”
Blackman was arrested during the mass protests in Ottawa, which drew thousands of Canadians opposed to vaccine mandates and other pandemic-era restrictions.
Although he faced charges of mischief and obstructing police, those charges were dismissed in October due to a lack of evidence. Despite this, prosecutors have appealed, and a trial is set to begin on August 14.
At the height of the protests, TD Bank froze three of Blackman’s accounts following government orders issued under the Emergencies Act. Then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had invoked the act to grant his government broad powers to disrupt the protest movement, including the unprecedented use of financial institutions to penalize individuals for their support or participation.
In 2024, a Federal Court Justice ruled that Trudeau’s decision to invoke the act had not been justified.
Blackman’s legal team plans to use the newly released records to demonstrate the extent of government intrusion into personal freedoms.
According to the JCCF, this case may be the first in Canada where a criminal trial includes a Charter challenge over the freezing of personal bank accounts under emergency legislation.

FDA requires new warning on mRNA COVID shots due to heart damage in young men

From LifeSiteNews
Pfizer and Moderna’s mRNA COVID shots must now include warnings that they cause ‘extremely high risk’ of heart inflammation and irreversible damage in males up to age 24.
The Trump administration’s Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced it will now require updated safety warnings on mRNA COVID-19 shots to include the “extremely high risk” of myocarditis/pericarditis and the likelihood of long-term, irreversible heart damage for teen boys and young men up to age 24.
The required safety updates apply to Comirnaty, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured by Pfizer Inc., and Spikevax, the mRNA COVID shot manufactured ModernaTX, Inc.
According to a press release, the FDA now requires each of those manufacturers to update the warning about the risks of myocarditis and pericarditis to include information about:
- the estimated unadjusted incidence of myocarditis and/or pericarditis following administration of the 2023-2024 Formula of mRNA COVID-19 shots and
- the results of a study that collected information on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (cardiac MRI) in people who developed myocarditis after receiving an mRNA COVID-19 injection.
The FDA has also required the manufacturers to describe the new safety information in the adverse reactions section of the prescribing information and in the information for recipients and caregivers.
Additionally, the fact sheets for healthcare providers and for recipients and caregivers for Moderna COVID-19 shot and Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 shot, which are authorized for emergency use in individuals 6 months through 11 years of age, have also been updated to include the new safety information in alignment with the Comirnaty and Spikevax prescribing information and information for recipients and caregivers.
In a video published on social media, Dr. Vinay Prasad, director of the Center for Biologics Evaluation & Research Chief Medical and Scientific Officer, explained the alarming reasons for the warning updates.
While heart problems arose in approximately 8 out of 1 million persons ages 6 months to 64 years following reception of the cited shots, that number more than triples to 27 per million for males ages 12 to 24.
Prasad noted that multiple studies have arrived at similar findings.
