The new judge overseeing Tamara Lich’s bail hearing this week, Justice Andrew Goodman, having a much clearer view of the law, has ruled that Lich should be released from prison and that the detainment of her in Medicine Hat and denial of Bail by Justice Paul Harris was “clearly inappropriate.”
In court this morning for the decision of Judge Andrew Goodman on Tamara Lich's bail review. He will rule if the Justice of the Peace Paul Harris erred when he ordered Lich stripped of her bail and sent back to jail at the end of June. Today marks her 49th day in jail (all in)

Justice Goodman even directly criticized Justice Harris’ denial of bail to Lich by pointing out his argument for why Lich should not have been able to attend an awards ceremony she was previously cleared to attend involved essentially hidden conditions.
Goodman is ripping the JP's ruling apart.
"The applicant would have needed to know that she was subject to a condition different than what was on the order. The plain language reading permitted contact in the presence of council"

Justice Goodman from the beginning of Lich’s new bail hearing had been seemingly quite tired of the fearmongering by Crown Prosecutor Moiz Karimjee, who has donated more than $17,000 overtime to the federal Liberal Party.
TAMARA LICH HEARING:
Judge seems to go against Karimjee increasingly.
“We’re not talking about sedition [or] inciting a riot. We’re talking about mischief,” he tells the Crown.
3 minutes later he corrects him once again on Supreme Court precedents. @RebelNewsOnline

TAMARA LICH HEARING:
Judge and the Crown prosecutor with liberal links continue to argue and debate more tensely.
The judge states that what he is saying is the normal course. Moiz Karimjee says “no,” that this is not the normal course.@RebelNewsOnline
— William Diaz-Berthiaume (@wdiazberthiaume) July 25, 2022
Justice Goodman came off as quite annoyed with Karimjee and the general legal strategy of the Crown, who argued today that they should not have to disclose their evidence/information to Lich’s legal team.
TAMARA LICH HEARING:
Greenspon just spent a long time extensively arguing and explaining why he believes Moiz Karimjee should provide disclosure on the areas he wants to conduct cross-examination upon.
There were a few back-and-forth with the judge.@RebelNewsOnline
— William Diaz-Berthiaume (@wdiazberthiaume) July 26, 2022
Lich’s lawyer, Lawrence Greenspon (from the JCCF), similarly went after the prosecution stating at one point, “enough is enough” in reference to what he saw as the Crown carrying on legal persecution of Lich rather than actually trying to get at any truth.
It goes to show that the Crown’s legal strategy has been all about gaming the system and relying on Liberal-leaning judges to keep Lich in prison.
If they thought they had a solid case against Lich they would not be engaging in the tactics they have been, and would not waste their time attempting to enforce extremely narrow bail violations rather than focusing on proving the “mischief” charges against her.
Justice Goodman seemed to be quite tired of the Crown using legal tricks and use of false media narratives against Lich and decisively ruled after allowing Karimjee another chance at cross-examination of Lich that:
It did not help that Karimjee started going after Lich’s husband in court, using TikTok videos as evidence of wrongdoing, and badgering Lich about her Metis identity.
Karimjee is now asking Lich about her husband's vaccination status, because they flew at one point on a charter flight, not a private one ( so subject to vaccine rules)
The judge cuts him off to ask the relevance.
"I'll move in your honour"

This is the crowns evidence against Tamara!!
A TWEET!!#kangaroocourt https://t.co/ekzbJD2q42— heather (@howisthismylif) July 26, 2022
Lich on cross-examination easily batted away the Crown’s attacks on her heritage, showing the Crown to be clearly using a Liberal narrative against her.
LICH: "up until that point, I had been called a racist by the Prime Minister of Canada, the media and the leader of the NDP. I used the term "race card" sarcastically. As in, it goes both ways"
(she is Metis)
— Sheila Gunn Reid (@SheilaGunnReid) July 26, 2022
The Crown’s cross-examination also ended quite poorly as the judge had to deny their last question which the whole line of questioning seemed to be trying to lead up to. Overall it seems like Justice Goodman perceived this to be legal theatre than anything that would prove Tamara Lich should be denied bail again.
After a break in the proceedings, Karimjee came back at Justice Goodman to argue he had enough evidence to show Lich would not abide by bail conditions placed on her, which Goodman then slapped down by referencing his ruling earlier in the day.
Karimjee is telling the judge there is a mountain of evidence relating to Lich's mindset (that she will not abide by conditions)
— Sheila Gunn Reid (@SheilaGunnReid) July 26, 2022
judge again explains to Karimjee that his ruling from this morning addressed these issues. There is no proof that anyone would reasonably fear that the convoy protest would re-ignite in full in Ottawa if Tamara was let out.
— Sheila Gunn Reid (@SheilaGunnReid) July 26, 2022
After taking another recess to make his final ruling, Justice Andrew Goodman came back to the courtroom and ruled that Tamara Lich would be granted bail and that the Crown’s case had challenges in it that they failed to overcome.
Judge: two JPs opined the case for the crown was strong. However, two superior court justices noted the challenges of the crown's case. I share that view.
— Sheila Gunn Reid (@SheilaGunnReid) July 26, 2022
Justice Goodman agreed that not meeting with Tom Marazzo was part of Lich’s bail conditions but that the Crown failed to prove that the brief meeting between Tamara Lich and Marazzo would constitute a real breach in the mind of a reasonable person.
After that Justice Goodman declared that Tamara Lich would be released from prison today.
"Ms Lich will be released from this court house today"

Excellent article !
The prosecution and judge need to be sued in a class action case
Tamara meets all the definitions of a political prisoner
This is just another example of how corrupt our judicial system has become. We have a socialist ( wannabe ) dictator as a Prime Minister who seems to be getting more and more comfortable ignoring our individual rights and freedoms, and the way Tamara has been treated is absolutely disgraceful. Wake up Canada!
Deeply disgraced, our leader is destroying this country. This kind of thing should not be happening, she is a political prisoner!
Justice ruled after Tamara was set up to use a Canada wide search warrant to send her back to jail. Once the big show with the Pope ends then a Canada wide search warrant should be put out for Justin Trudeau’s arrest. He is a far bigger threat to Canada than Tamara was or ever will be.
A great miscarriage of justice, Liberals justices they were. Someone has to pay. When will Trudeau and the other parasites be arrested, charged and properly convicted!
Nuremberg 2023 the liberal cabinet has been Penetrated
The prosecutor is a multi millionaire who had family connections to the liberal party. He needs to be investigated and audited.
I agree
Every Canadian is entitled to participate in democracy by donating the annual maximum to a political party without being punished for it.
Your statement reflects your total failure to inform yourself about our democracy and your own rights.
If he is exhibiting a political bias via malicious prosecution, then HE NEEDS TO INVESTIGATED!!!! Malicious prosecution IS NOT DEMOCRACY please do keep up.
He should be dis barred from practicing any type of law!
Trudeau needs to hang for treason. This shit show is disgusting.
I totally agree with you! How far can he drag Canada down before the rcmp will step up and do their jobs
Wow. Look at this guy’s salary. Crown lawyers make this much? https://www.ontariosunshinelist.com/people/moiz-karimjee/attorney-general
Never thought my Canada would have a political prisoner. Trudeau and his government are a disgrace. The Crown Prosecutor is a liberal crony and the worst of the worst.
Agree 100%
It’s about time the Canadian government stops breaking Canadian law and persecuting anyone who questions their idea of a globalist Communist society. These people need to be charged with treason. May God bless all of our patriots as well as Tamara
ABOUT TIME THOSE LIBERAL PROSCUTERS AND JUDGES STOP LISTENING TO THEIR SUPREME LEADER TRUDEAU AND STOP WITH THE SILENTING OF OUR VOICES AND ALLOW PROTEST TO HAPPEN IN A DEMOCRATIC WAY. THE PROTESTERS DID NOTHING WRONG ONLY CALLED OUT THE LIBERALS UNDER THE COMMUNIST TRUDEAU. ABOUT TIME A JUDGE TOLD THOSE PROSCUTERS THE PEOPLE ARE TIRED OF THE LIBERAL INTERFERANCES IN THE LAW. THIS IS WHAT WE HAVE RUNNING THIS COUNTRY. HOW MANY INNOCENT PEOPLE ARE IN JAIL BECAUSE OF THE LIES OF THOSE PROSCUTERS. I DARE SAY A GREAT MANY. EVERY CASE SHOULD BE I NVESTIGATED AGAIN.
Som štastný,že je Tamara na slobode,je to silná žena!Aj my tu na slovensku by sme také potrebovali a verím,že sa objavia aj u nás!!!
This is a witch hunt! So scary Canada has regressed to this..
Great to see that we have a few non-partisan judges left in Canada. It’s another obvious over reach by the Trudeau Liberals. Time for the lot of them to go!
I agree with the majority of you here. We need non partisanism,espescially in the legal systyem.
Have a feeling that Fuhrer Trudope will call a Fall Election before TSHTF.
Liberals and NDP will be ALL WASHED UP with Pierre Palmolive as leader of the CPC !
"Crown Prosecutor Moiz Karimjee, who has donated more than $17,000 overtime to the federal Liberal Party"
Every Canadian is entitled to participate in democracy and politics in their personal time, including donating the personal maximum each year, which is all that Karimjee has done.
"would not waste their time attempting to enforce extremely narrow bail violations rather than focusing on proving the “mischief” "
This was a bail hearing, not a trial.
What no Hannibal Lector mask….seriously, shackles on this sweet lady says it all about our legal system!
TRUDEAU is washed up.what he did to the people was incalled for. Instead of going to speak to them he found every reason in the book not to. A prime minster is suppose to work for the people of this "Country " but he didn’t ecen have the decency to speak with them. The vaccine mandates are out of control at tye bridge and for people to work. Listen to the concerns.
Tamara Lich i salute you.
Trudeau doesn’t like opposition or
Confrontation. Period. Canada is supposed to be a democracy, however it appears that is only the case when you are in agreement with Trudeau. The legal system should NOT hold political views! Canada is not free with prosecutors and judges using politics as weight. The legal system in Canada should be based on laws, not politics. Thank you Justice Goodman for acknowledging this. I hope more will follow your example.
As strong Liberals supporters, the Justice of the Peace and Crown Attorney should not have been involved with her case.
She never should have been in jail in the first place! The charges against her a result of Trudeau being butt hurt and nothing more. He’s a whiny, entitled little man bitch, and he needs to go!
