On Day 16 of the Emergencies Act hearings, the main organizer of the Freedom Convoy  Tamara Lich took the stand for the first time since her bail hearing in late July.

Lich was asked about what her life had been like after her arrest in Ottawa on Feb 17.

“I’ve lost my job, I’ve lost my freedom of speech, I’ve lost my freedom to communicate with my friends,” said Lich tearfully.

“I have to be very careful about every move that I make,” she continued. “My trial’s not until next year… I have to live under these conditions for a year.”

That’s the way Canada’s soft tyranny “justice system, silences dissidents. Tamara Lich was arrested for the minor non-violent offence of counselling mischief. Yet, she was jailed for 56 days and twice denied bail. When she finally got bail, her conditions would make Stalin blush. She was completely silenced politically. This gag order may last until her trial which could be many months away.

Her counsel Edmonton lawyer Keith Wilson told Rebel News (October 14, 2022): Her “bail conditions are worse than
the conditions, the free speech conditions that [Russian President Vladimir] Putin has put on [Alexei] Navalny, his
chief critic. You could interview him in his jail cell in Russia, but you cannot interview, in Trudeau’s Canada, Tamara Lich about the circumstances of her protest!”
