On the third day of the trial of Freedom Convoy organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich, the court witnessed social media footage of Mr. Barber calling for the protesters to be peaceful while also encouraging them to honk their horns if police attempted to remove them.
“We’re representing so many Canadians, the ones that are here physically, the ones that can’t be here physically, the ones that have passed on. So we have to win this. There’s no option for going home without answers,” Mr. Barber said in a video posted to his TikTok account on Feb. 7, 2022, that was shown to the court.
