An Ottawa court has issued a Canada-wide arrest warrant for a Freedom Convoy participant who is seeking political asylum in the United States.
Calgary trucker James Bauder failed to appear in court in Ottawa on Aug. 27. He had been ordered by Superior Court Justice Kevin Phillips to attend the court in person to “explain his intentions regarding his upcoming criminal trial,” according to an Aug. 29 news release written by Canadian non-profit The Democracy Fund’s (TDF) legal team, which is representing Bauder.
