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.
What kind of Commie Gulag has Canada become?
Saw the same. Driver being interviewed right now. He thinks the cops are basically playing games.
Don’t be afraid.

A BIG promotion from FedGouvCan, however, was likely an incentive. Will we ever hear about it? No way!
‘Intelligent and cute? A ChiCom plant. Remember Fang Fang and Eric (spit or) Swalwell?
Cops moving in. Things getting warmer.
So anybody be from anywhere can file suit if you’re a resident in Canada?
Need to be frequency agile as livestreamers go on and off line due to power and signal issues. Zot is carrying good footage now. It’s happening.
They arrest you if a civil suit is brought against you????
Tamara Lich has been arrested as well.
How many Police Officers have the intestinal fortitude to refuse to arrest the truckers, resign and join with them?
Surely, there are some REAL “Protect and Serve” Police Officers in Canada?
Anybody still trust the police and believe they’re on our side?
Last I heard, the truckers were cordoned off and Stasi, oops, I mean Mounties, OPP, d’Ottawa cops, CSIS, and God knows who else are operating 100 checkpoints and no one is in or out, without their say so.
No press allowed, not even the CBC cheerleaders. I suspect that ‘surprisingly’ hundreds of guns and plenty of dynamite will be ‘found’. I would not be surprised if a number of truckers, apparently wearing swastika pins and KKK hoods ‘defended’ their illegal stash and were killed.
IMO, Prime Mistake ‘Little Potato’ and the b*stards at WEF, are THAT STUPID/ARROGANT as to do that and have certain CSIS types execute truckers. No press, no witnesses, other than the ‘racist, mysoginist, Nazi’ truckers, who have ‘unacceptable’ ideas.
I pray that I am wrong, but they are DESPARATE!
Maranatha
AND, per what the initial article said she was a FEDERAL GOVERNMENT of CANADA EMPLOYEE!
Are there ANY OTHER CANADIAN CITIZENS THAT FIND IT EXTREMELY WRONG THAT A COMMUNIST CHINESE CITIZEN IS WORKING FOR THE GOVERNMENT IN THE CAPITAL?
Not a surprise, though, with CASTREAU in charge!
IF the Conservatives were smart, they would latch on to the fact that a foreign NATIONAL, whose nation has been SPYING on Canada for a LONG TIME, is employed in TRUDEAU’S GOVERNMENT!
Freedom Convoy 2022 hasn’t occupied anything.
Lie in first sentence.
Probably CCP, yes.
Twitter’s HYPOCRITES promote DOXING using HACKED info on Freedom Convoy donors, while CENSORING legally obtained info from Hunter Biden’s laptop! DOUBLE STANDARD!
