An Ottawa court is expected to hear final arguments for acquittal from the legal teams of two Freedom Convoy figureheads today.

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber are fighting criminal charges for their role in organizing the protest in 2022, which brought massive crowds and thousands of big rig trucks to downtown Ottawa for weeks, in opposition to pandemic restrictions.
