🏙️ City Council 🏗️ Somerset House 🛻 Convoy on Trial
Convoy co-organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich are currently on trial for their parts in the Convoy siege. We’ll mention when something interesting happens. - The videos that the court has been shown all week long, mostly social media but some newscasts, are to determine if any can be entered as evidence. No decision has yet been made.
- A video of a Convoy news conference showed Tamara Lich identifying herself as a leader of the Convoy. Another co-organizer, Ben Dichter, piped up and said that Lich was really the ‘president’. (Laura Osman in the Canadian Press)
