Trucker convoy organizers publicly supported by Conservative MPs ahead of sentencing

July 21, 2025

Tamara Lich and Chris Barber were convicted of mischief in April for their roles in organizing the demonstration, which blockaded streets around Parliament Hill for more than three weeks in early 2022.
