On Sept. 13, the seventh day of the criminal trial for Freedom Convoy organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich, defence lawyers showed a video of Mr. Barber repeatedly urging protesters to remain peaceful as the truckers approached Ottawa.
“This convoy to Ottawa next week on Sunday is a peaceful protest,” Mr. Barber said in a video posted to his TikTok account “BigRed19755” on Jan. 20, 2022, a week before the trucker convoy arrived in the nation’s capital.
