Chris Barber, a key organizer of the so-called Freedom Convoy that has occupied Ottawa streets for three weeks, has been arrested in Ottawa, CBC News has learned.
Barber, who is currently in police custody and is expected to face criminal charges, has been described as one of the key leaders of the protest in Ottawa, which has now hit the three-week mark.
Barber is also one of three protest organizers named in the class action lawsuit filed with the Ontario Superior Court of Justice by lawyer Paul Champ on behalf of his client, 21-year-old public servant Zexi Li.
The suit names Barber along with fellow convoy organizers Tamara Lich and Benjamin Dichter.
Earlier this month, Barber responded to criticism the protest was negatively affecting Ottawa residents by saying organizers had "empathy" for local residents.
"We understand your frustration and genuinely wish there was another way for us to get our message across, but the responsibility for your inconvenience lies squarely on the shoulders of politicians who have [preferred] to vilify and call us names rather than engage in respectful, serious dialogue," he said at the time.
More to come.
How do individuals file criminal charges?
“public servant Zexi Li”
And what public would that be? Servant or ruler?
The 21-year-old public servant is suing the organizers.
They don't. Class action is a civil suit for money damages.
Trudeau and his Liberals were talking about these people are trying to overthrow the government ,LOL
I still haven’t heard why he was arrested. But hey, it is Canada where Castro’s
bad seed has people arrested for exercising their rights under the Charter. That is now terrorism.
I bet ole Joe Biteme likes that.
The poor Polish pastor is still jailed for speaking out. It is called mischief.
Check YouTube live feeds, it’s about to go down. Multiple live streamers report cops massing and blocking off routes. The whole world is watching. UOttawaScotty and Ottawalks are currently broadcasting on YouTube from the scene.
Zexi Li? Is this the Canadian Michael Avenatti?
The government wants to get it done before the weekend when thousands more people show up
There’s also heavy snowfall, and I tell you what, if the cops turn this into a blood bath, red against that white will make really bad press for Justin.
When youtube goes dark you’ll know it’s started big time
‘Zexi Li’. A 21 year old, likely a CR-3, promised a promotion to FI-4, if he/she/it pursues the class action suit.
(FWIW, a CR-3 is a low level clerk in GouvFedCan (or at least when I lived in d’Ottawa 30 years ago). An FI-4 is an upper level Funance Officer.
Chances are ‘Zexi Li’ speaks Engrish at a Gr 2 level, and is FOTB (fresh off the boat) from China. Heck, perhaps even a PLA plant.

They don’t. They file a complaint, make a statement, the cops investigate and then bring the case to the DA, or whatever they have in Canada.
It’s gonna be real interesting what is in that complaint.
If I were the truckers, pack up, go back home and NOT deliver a carton of eggs into that city. Let Zexi Li starve.
I’ll be no one dox’s Zexi Li, if that is actually a person. Can’t wait until Barber has a chance to confront his accuser.
I guess that the Trudeau government thinks that it’s impossible for Canadians to go around some trucks.
It’s gonna be real interesting what is in that complaint.
Trying to overthrow Trudeau’s Dictatorship
🤔
The free world needs this to become a nationwide strike.
In a mature society, ‘civil servant’ is semantically equal to ‘civil master.’
