Convoy leader Pat King heads to trial | CBC News
Right on. And it's incredible the media uses "Freedom Convoy," when it was an occupation.
Historic Protest. WTF is this shit writing. More like this stain on Canada.

Whether you support it or not it was a historic protest. A convoy of truckers occupied downtown Ottawa for quite a while despite tons of complaints from residents. That has not really happened before, and especially for so long in the nations capital. That would make it historic
You call it whatever you want. I don’t call that a protest more like harassing local residents.

Keep it civil
Hope he exercises his first ammendment rights! What a moron.
I hope he mentions it during his trial and gets shut down for being stupid.
Judge: "please explain what you mean by 'first amendment'"
My right to recognize Manitoba as a province will not be ignored by this court!!!
And I hope he doesn't plead the fifth so he can finally get locked up for his felony. That is, unless the arresting officer didn't read him his Miranda rights.
none of that is Canadian so nice try
I'm sure the establishment of the province of Manitoba is the cornerstone of his defense.
If a place Manitoba can be established as province, there’s no limit to what can happen.
If that doesn't work there's always the wookie defence..
I still don’t understand what he has against Manitoba
Must be a Riders fan.
You know Canada doesn't have a first amendment, right?
That is, in fact, the joke.
Throw the book at this fascist POS
People like this who say they represent the right of Canadians while impeding those right should be put away for a very long time. The cowboy style of politics imported from the US has no place in our great country. I hope he enjoys the inside of his prison cell and for a very long time.
Don’t just throw the book; throw the entire library at this fool.

Lol
Who knows, maybe he'll learn something through osmosis being close to so many books.
I can't wait for PP to start talking about how we should invoke the notwithstanding clause to revoke his right to bail, and keep him locked up through the whole trial for "public safety"
Oh wait Pat King is white right-winger, never mind.
Lock this idiots ass up. 🤷♂️
The face of pestilence
"Arrested and jailed for five months before his release that summer, King is unlikely to serve more time behind bars if he is found guilty, given laws around credit from time served."
We should all be allowed to sue these traitors.
Charge his the amount lost due to road closures + cost of cops and cleanup.
Stipulate that x% of the total fine can be fined to another person if he gives adequate evidence of their guilt and involvement.
Watch how fast these hicks turn on each other well they root out the problem for the rest of us.
Better yet, 1 year of full time house arrest with full time community service cleaning streets in the area affected by the convoy.
He is an idiot…but what about the other fools who jumped in behind him..
They're next.
Good.
Throw away the key!
King was brought in as an early planner of the Freedom Convoy, conceived by an ad-hoc group that connected online as a protest against vaccine mandates, in January 2022.
I wish orgs like CBC would stop legitimizing this gaslighting.
Nearly every organizer of the "freedom convoy" had been involved with the Yellow Vests/United We Roll/other far-right protests (which were offshoots of each other). This includes Lich and Barber. This was the third convoy organized by these people. At their last one, King literally directed them into Alberta where they threatened to run over striking oil workers. Co-Op was literally coordinating with them and promised to provide fuel. None of this is organic or ad-hoc.
Not to mention that the linked text is in no way supported by the article it links to. Like seriously CBC, this is lazy.
Toss his dumb ass in prison and throw away the key. Canada doesn't need scumbags like that.
I’m waiting for balcony guy to testify at the trial. Buckle up with popcorn.
Hopefully this guy will have a chance to speak at the trial
Get rekt. I hope he ends up back in jail for a while so I don't have to read his fucking name anymore.
Being a disgusting blob and a dumbass really flies in the face of this guys claims about the superior race.
Pat King, leader of the clown convoy!
bury him and his ilk under the jail
no sentence can be harsh enough for those of us still living with the trauma and phantom honking of the kkklownvoy
What fucking protest. I didn’t see a protest.
Correct. It was an illegal insurrection to overthrow the democratically elected Government of Canada.
I feel like insurrection is a strong word when comparing it to Jan 6. It was definitely a failed attempt to subvert democracy. I feel like the insurrection is yet to come. Maybe election year, since these people seemingly want to be Maple MAGA.
If Pierre doesn’t win you can bet these morons will be back in Ottawa.
Fair comment. The intent and willingness may have been there on the part of some of the leaders (see MOU) but you're probably right that it didn't get that far along.
Yes the MOU is where I get the “failed attempt to subvert democracy.” The intent was definitely there with the Yellow Vests and Unity Canada.
I do think the threat of an insurrection is still there if the CPC doesn’t win the election, especially since CPC voters seem to think its in the bag.
100 percent. Seditious trucklefucks.
Lock him up and throw away the key.
These types usually set up a donation fund for their defense.
Where do I send money to support the prosecution?
🍿
Throw the book at ‘em!
Honestly I already assume he will be treated with white gloves on.
Couldn't have happened to a finer asshole!
