OTTAWA — As Tamara Lich was led away from supporters in handcuffs on the snowy streets of Ottawa in 2022, she threw a single phrase over her shoulder.
"Hold the line," said the petite figurehead of the"Freedom Convoy" movement as the officers at each of her elbows walked her to the waiting cruiser.
Lich and Barber stand co-accused of mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation. Lich told a federal inquiry last year that when she told supporters to"hold the line," she wasn't encouraging them to stay in the capital, but rather to"stay true to your values in the face of adversity."
They specifically wanted to find a way to protest vaccine mandates that were coming into effect for truckers who crossed the U.S. border and would be forced to quarantine for 14 days if they were unvaccinated.
