OTTAWA — An Ontario court judge says he's unlikely to grant"Freedom Convoy" organizer Pat King's request to move his criminal trial out of Ottawa.
Several people charged during the demonstration have been denied similar requests, including convoy organizer James Bauder and former Ontario MPP Randy Hillier. The exceptions, she said, are protest organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, whose joint criminal trial began in September. Justice Charles Hackland said during Tuesday's court proceeding, which took place via video conference, that he would probably dismiss the request, though he wants to think more carefully about the issue before handing down his final decision.
The convoy blocked city streets, with people and vehicles remaining in the downtown core for three weeks. Residents have described a state of lawlessness as they were subjected to air horns at all hours of the day and night, open fires in the streets and diesel fumes.
