According to The Democracy Fund (TDF), a supporter of the Freedom Convoy 2022, who they had their legal team representing in court, has had the charges against them stayed by the Crown prosecution.
The unnamed client was facing up to 45 days in prison and had been charged with mischief, disobeying a court order, and obstructing a police officer, which is arguable an equal set of charges to what convoy spokeswoman Tamara Lich has put against her.
From the vague details that TDF has given about this case, it sounds like the organization’s lawyer, Mr. Adam Blake-Gallipeau, representing this particular client had taken a strategy of aggressively pushing the Crown to provide details to back up its charges, which evidentially it could not.
It sounds like TDF is taking the position that the onus is not on them to scramble around citing the Charter to defend their client’s attendance at the Freedom Convoy protest when the Crown cannot provided evidence a crime was even committed.

The Democracy Fund pushing hard against the Crown is a model for how other organizations and lawyers should be defending their clients wrongly charged after police violently broke up the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protest.
Arguably, Tamara Lich may have also had the charges against her dropped if her legal team adopted the TDF’s legal strategy. Lich’s progress in the courtroom has not only been hampered by a dishonest prosecution but also by what seems to be an overly defensive legal approach by the Justice Centre For Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF). Some of the sloppy out-of-court PR work by the JCCF has also not helped move things along at a fast pace.
On another note, the fact TDF was able to get charges dropped against one of their clients involved in the Freedom Convoy proves the Crown knows its narrative about the convoy is false, and that there was nothing truly criminal about the downtown Ottawa protest.
If the protest could truly be viewed as an act of mass “mischief” then it should be extremely easy to convict anyone still at the protest when the police came to violently break it up.
The fact is the protest was a legitimate exercise of expression and speech rights, and convicting anyone in court, including Tamara Lich and other convoy organizers, will be extremely difficult.
No doubt we will see more charges dropped in the near future.

Yay! This is government overreach at it’s worst… they need to be sued for abuse of power and charter violations
Taking a Government now to court for money is redundant. It is afterall, our money. True accountability MUST be served in this instance.
Hang the traitor Trudeau and set an example for the next government! We are the people in charge, the government works for us with our money. Enough is enough!
I would like to be the one to put the noose around his neck. Trudeau has sold out this country and its people. He bears the badge of a dictator, like his father Fidel Castro.
Go to. thepowershift.ca. Sign the convention of consent Your information is private but they are doing a constitution adjustment as Pierre fuked up and it can be corrected but we need all Canadians to sign to show you support that Canadians want the power over the governments decisions
And yet I saw a pole that somehow gives the Liberals 30% of the votes in Canada if an election was to be held now. You must have tunnel vision, your head stuck in sand or you have that horrible illness called CBC ( also called CTV, Global, and MSM) to think the liberals deserve 1 single vote.
Now give back the 36 business that we’re closed by fat ford. Whom by the way has joined the WEF
Great article. Thank you.
This post contains a comprehensive collection of videos and articles that chronicle the damage Pierre and Justin Trudeau have done to Canadians.

I WILL ADD THE ONUS IS SOULY ON GVMNT TO PROVE JUSTIFICATION TO BE ABLE TO OVERRIDE YOUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS, CHARTER RIGHTS, THEY HAVE NEVER PROVED NOR PROVIDED EVIDENCE FOR JUSTIFICATION AS THEY CANNOT. GVMNTS OWN DATA PROVES THAT HUGE FACT. @JCCFCanada HAS TRACKED GVMNT DATA FROM EVERY PROVINCE PROVING GVMNT HAD NO JUSTIFICATION FOR THE GRIEVOUS COVID MEASURES TAKEN AGAINST CANADIANS & SMALL BUSINESSES. THE ONUS WAS ALWAYS ON GVMNT TO PROVE OTHERWISE, WHICH IT NEVER COULD, GIVEN THEIR OWN DATA INCRIMINATES THEM.
