Nearly one year after its start, the trial for two leaders of the Freedom Convoy entered closing arguments on Tuesday.
They said the two were leaders of the protest and helped to finance, fuel and organize the mass of trucks that came into Ottawa's downtown core to protest against COVID-19 mandates. Shortly after arriving in the city, they were key voices in a group that had organized millions of dollars, a public relations operation, security, logistics and a formal corporation for the Freedom Convoy protest.
Throughout their submissions, which are expected to continue Wednesday, the Crown cited several examples of other protesters who were convicted.
