Photo by Adrian Wyld / THE CANADIAN PRESS OTTAWA — Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, two leaders of the 'Freedom Convoy' protest, are scheduled to be sentenced for mischief on Oct. 7 in an Ottawa courtroom.

Ontario Court Justice Heather Perkins-McVey said Thursday she wants to rule on the mischief sentence and truck forfeiture at the same time so that she does not deliver 'piecemeal' decisions. Lich and Barber were both found guilty of mischief in April for their roles in the convoy protest, which saw activists fill much of downtown Ottawa for three weeks beginning in late January 2022 to protest vaccine mandates and other pandemic measures. The Crown is seeking a prison sentence of seven years for Lich and eight years for Barber, who was also found guilty of counselling others to disobey a court order.

The lawyers for both Lich and Barber are seeking absolute discharges for their clients, which would mean neither receives a criminal record. On Thursday, Lich's lawyer Lawrence Greenspon told the court that Lich has already spent 49 days in jail and has been under strict bail conditions for the last three-and-a-half years. Greenspon argued that his client and Barber took 'unprecedented' steps by working with police and city officials throughout the protest to limit the protest's impact. 'This is an individual who came to this city with the best of intentions, as recognized by the judge. She has been under strict bail conditions for three-and-a-half years. She spent 49 days in jail for the offence of mischief,' Greenspon said during the hearing's lunch break. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'And if one looks at the positive impact that she's had on the lives of many Canadians and the community service that she has continued to do, there's absolutely no reason for her to not receive an absolute discharge.' Greenspon read a brief statement on Lich's behalf that simply said 'freedom is not free.' Accused are given a chance to address the court during sentencing submissions. Barber's lawyer Diane Magas said Wednesday that she is seeking an absolute discharge for her client because he has been on bail for the last three-and-a-half years without incident. Greenspon became emotional at times while reading from dozens of support letters submitted on behalf of his client. He read out messages from people who said the convoy protest gave them hope after two years of the COVID-19 pandemic and associated public health measures they saw as government overreach. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. 'Tamara Lich, Chris Barber stood up for what they believed in and what many, many people — thousands of people across the country were not capable of standing up (for). And those people were inspired,' he said. Crown prosecutor Siobhain Wetscher said during her sentencing submissions Wednesday that she is seeking stiff sentences for Lich and Barber because of the broad community harm caused by the three-week 2022 protest in Ottawa's downtown core. She said that she is seeking long sentences not because of Lich and Barber's political beliefs but because of their actions during the protest. Wetscher said that while Lich and Barber may have come to Ottawa with noble intentions, they continued to encourage people to take part in the protests even when it became impossible for them to ignore the effect it was having on downtown residents and businesses. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Greenspon said Thursday that it's 'facile and inaccurate' to say the Crown's sentencing proposal sentence is not motivated by his client's politics. He said Lich continually called for protesters to remain peaceful and can't be held responsible for the actions of individuals at the demonstration. Wetscher replied that while some people are fans of the convoy protest, it does not change the fact that it caused harm to people living and working in downtown Ottawa. The defence raised issues with victim and community impact statements submitted by Wetscher. One of the statements came from fellow 'Freedom Convoy' organizer Pat King's case and others were sworn affidavits derived from a separate $300 million class action lawsuit filed against convoy organizers by downtown Ottawa residents. Wetscher said that the statements are meant to capture the broad scope of the convoy's impact. Read More Sports Canada Editorials World Toronto & GTA

MANDEL: Only one 'truth' and it wasn't told by Hockey Canada complainant

Create Account An Ontario judge has found there is only 'the truth' and it had nothing to do with the account a young woman has spun over the last seven years in accusing five former members of Canada's world junior hockey team of sexually assaulting her in a London hotel room in June 2018. And so in finding all five not guilty in a decision that took most of the day to read, Superior Court Justice Maria Carroccia has given the men back their futures and their freedom. But no matter the acquittals for Canada's former junior hockey stars Michael McLeod, 27, Dillon Dubé, 26, Cal Foote, 26, Alex Formenton, 25, and Carter Hart, 26, their lives, of course, are forever tattered. Their promising hockey careers are in ruins: Hart, McLeod, Foote and Dube had NHL contracts that were not renewed after they were charged in 2024. And their reputations will always bear the stain of being dragged through the mud of public opinion that tarred and feathered them as alleged rapists. Which is not to say that they didn't likely behave like Animal House louts in that hotel room. Your noon-hour look at what's happening in Toronto and beyond.

The judge reminded the court that her verdicts weren't about the young men's morality but whether they engaged in sexual activity with E.M. in room 209 without her consent. The university student claimed she was extremely drunk, disconnected from her body and so fearful in the room full of strapping men that she felt she had no choice but to go along with delivering oral sex and engaging in sexual intercourse. In a scathing decision, Carroccia tore her account to shreds, finding E.M. neither 'credible or reliable.' She found E.M. 'went to great lengths' to exaggerate her intoxication yet video footage from the London bar where she first met McLeod, then her arrival at the Delta Hotel and inside the room in two 'consent' videos showed her walking – and almost running at one point – without any difficulty in her stiletto heels while displaying no slurring or other signs of impairment. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. E.M. claimed the players were trying to get her drunk, but again, video from Jack's bar showed her buying all but one of her own drinks. It was also difficult to square how E.M. agreed she was fine to consent to go back to McLeod's room for sex, and it was only later that she was too intoxicated to consent to what followed with the others who came in. How is it that her impairment increased when she didn't have anything more to drink? Michael McLeod, Carter Hart, Alexandar Formenton, Dillon Dubé and Callan Foote are shown in court in this courtroom sketch made in London, Ont., on Wednesday, April 23, 2025. Photo by Alexandra Newbould / The Canadian Press As for her purported fear, that wasn't something E.M. ever mentioned until four years later, after London Police had closed their case without laying charges and she filed her $3.5 million civil case – a lawsuit that Hockey Canada quickly and quietly settled without the players' knowledge, or the public's, until the explosive revelation by TSN's Rick Westhead. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. In the first 'consent' video, taken by McLeod without E.M.'s knowledge, 'she was speaking normally, she was smiling, she did not appear to be upset or in distress,' Carroccia said. E.M. testified that after sex with McLeod, she exited the bathroom naked and was surprised to find the room full of men. Why didn't she go back in and put her clothes back on, the judge asked. 'No one had threatened her or applied any force to her. She made no effort to leave the room. Up until this point, there had been no sexual contact with anyone other than consensually with Mr. McLeod. The complainant provided no satisfactory answer as to why she chose to do this.' Read More This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The judge went further. Not only didn't she believe E.M. was afraid, she accepted the testimony from the players who said she was calling them 'pussies' and demanding sex. 'I accept the overwhelming evidence that E.M. was acting in a sexually forward manner when she was masturbating in this room full of men and asking them to have sex with her.' The acquittals come as no surprise – from the start of the long-awaited, sensational trial, the weakness of the case was screamingly obvious. As Formenton's lawyer Dan Brown said after the verdict, it appears London Police 'got it right' when they found there wasn't enough evidence to lay charges. But it was social media outrage following the Hockey Canada payout that led not only to reopening the police investigation but also to forcing the Crown's hand in going ahead with a hopeless prosecution. Assuming there's no Crown appeal, it finally ends here – with five men left to pick up the pieces of their lives. mmandel@ Sports Canada World Editorials Toronto & GTA
