Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre is speaking out against the Crown prosecutors’ attempt to seize the truck belonging to one of the Freedom Convoy’s organizers, Chris Barber, who is awaiting sentencing.

Barber, who was one of the organizers of the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other pandemic measures, was found guilty of mischief along with fellow organizer Tamara Lich in April. Barber was also found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order.
