OTTAWA—Freedom Convoy co-organizer Chris Barber has been given a conditional sentence of 18 months that will see him serve 12 months under house arrest and six months of curfew, avoiding jail time for his role in the 2022 protest.
Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey ruled on Oct. 7 that Barber will serve a conditional sentence of 18 months on the charge of mischief and a three-month concurrent conditional sentence for the charge of counselling others to disobey a court order.
