A judge will soon decide whether the Crown will be able to seize Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber’s truck “Big Red” that he utilized during the 2022 trucker protest.

Justice Heather Perkins-McVey will read her decision at the Ottawa Courthouse on Dec. 19. According to the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), which has provided funding for Barber’s legal defence, either party will be able to appeal the ruling.
