NP/CP say Meta's Facebook videos played in convoy case

2023-09-13 07:45 ET - In the News

The National Post reports in its Wednesday edition that after weeks of protest during one of the coldest months of the winter, truck convoy organizer Chris Barber recorded himself on a walk through the blockaded streets of Ottawa as supporters stopped him to ask him for photos. A Canadian Press dispatch to the Post reports that in a video posted Feb. 12, 2022, one person who ran into Mr. Barber called him a "hero." The scene was played in court Tuesday, where the Crown is trying to prove that Mr. Barber and his fellow organizer, Tamara Lich, exerted control and influence on the protest that unfolded over three weeks in Ottawa. The video that was played in court is not considered evidence because Ms. Lich and Mr. Barber's defence lawyers plan to argue against admitting evidence gathered from the "Freedom Convoy 2022" Facebook page. Crown prosecutor Tim Radcliffe took the court through 212 pages worth of posts and videos from the "Freedom Convoy 2022" Facebook page, including updates from convoy organizers to supporters. Defence lawyers are demanding more details about how the Crown plans to use them to prove its case before they can be considered by the judge, who is hearing the case without a jury.
