OTTAWA—As the trial of trucker convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Chris Barber moved to its eighth day, lawyers continued to show videos of the protest that took place in downtown Ottawa in January and February 2022. Defence lawyers on Sept. 14 showed footage of Mr. Barber condemning the leader of a group that tried to burn a Canadian flag during the protest.

“You don’t belong to our group, Ms. Romana,” Mr. Barber said in a Feb. 3 TikTok video in reaction to news that Romana Didulo and her followers had attempted to destroy a Canadian flag.
