A Crown prosecutor argues that Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich should be sent back to jail until her trial after accusing her of breaching her bail conditions by agreeing to accept an award that recognizes her contribution in “advancing and preserving freedom in Canada.”

Lich appeared virtually on May 19 in the Ontario Superior Court of Justice, where lawyers wrangled over how the bail hearing should proceed.
