    It’s an utter failure of the Canadian MSM that people still think the freedumm caravan had anything to do with truckers or mandates. This group of organizers set out to perform a CPC endorsed Jan 6th styled event intended to take over our Parliament building and end our democracy. They failed, but It’s still treasonous.

      Their statements were treasonous, I’ll grant you, but their actions didn’t go beyond rallies on government properties and congesting streets in the capitol. I think the right legal action is happening, although there could be more people charged. While I think these people are scum, I don’t feel like they crossed the line into illegal statements. There is a difference between saying the elected officials should step down, saying we will remove those officials by force, and actually trying to overthrow the government.

        Taking steps to activate the MOU plan of sieging our Parliament and overthrowing our government is in itself a crime of conspiracy to commit sedition. (seditious conspiracy) Many CPC politicians actively participated in the effort.

        Check out the gun charges against the border blockade idiots in Alberta.

        Also, consider that they blocked border crossings, shutting down international trade.

          I saw that, and if there is evidence of that group being in contact with the two people in this article, that would be relevant. As an aside, looks like a couple of the Alberta people pled out. Hopefully the others get consequences they won’t forget.
