King is charged with mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, disobeying a court order and obstructing police for his role in the demonstration, which ultimately ended in a massive police operation. 

Defence lawyers for "Freedom Convoy" organizers Chris Barber and Tamara Lich started laying out their case in an Ottawa courtroom on Monday, Nov. 27, 2023.

Chris Barber said early in last year's "Freedom Convoy" protest that he felt things were getting "out of control" and unsafe, an officer who served as an intermediary between organizers and police testified in court on Thursday.

The "Freedom Convoy" protest that gridlocked downtown Ottawa for weeks last winter was a leaderless movement that saw power struggles among its key organizers, a public inquiry heard on Tuesday, November 1, 2022.

Provincial officials in Saskatchewan and Alberta got a Valentine's Day surprise from the prime minister this year when he called to say he was considering invoking the Emergencies Act, a public inquiry heard on Thursday, October 13, 2022.

The public inquiry into the federal government's unprecedented use of the Emergencies Act during “Freedom Convoy” protests last winter begins on Thursday, October 13, 2022, and dozens of witnesses, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and high-profile convoy organizers, are expected to testify.

The decision was delivered in an Ottawa courtroom Monday by Superior Court Justice Anne London-Weinstein.

Pierre Poilievre, a high-profile contender in the Conservative party's leadership race, on Monday, May 16, 2022, denounced the "white replacement theory," which was believed to be a motive for a mass shooting in Buffalo, N.Y., as "ugly and disgusting hate-mongering."
