This matter of a second lawsuit involving participants in the Truckers Convoy is worthy of interest. It is obvious to me that this case, and the charges laid against Tamara Lich and Chris Barber, are a clear example of LAWFARE.
.
I find it particularly interesting when you examine potential repercussions should it proceed. There are not many ways to fight against LAWFARE, but one of them, namely open WARFARE deserves some thought. The fallout from this could make the initial protest seem like small potatoes. Justin Trudeau is not one of Canada’s most popular people. The federal Public Service might also find its way onto Santa’s NAUGHTY LIST.

A lawsuit filed by a group of Ottawa residents against participants of the Freedom Convoy is designed to silence expression, lawyers for the defendants say.
.
The class action litigation, filed by Ottawa resident Zexi Li and others, seeks $290 million in damages, saying the protestors caused a nuisance and led to psychological distress as well as a loss of income due to business closures in downtown Ottawa.
.
The lawsuit has also named citizens who donated to the protest, according to a news release by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), who are supporting legal representation for the defendants.
.
Lawyers for defendants Tamara Lich, Chris Barber, and others will be in court on Dec. 14 to try and have the case tossed out. They say it is a Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation (SLAPP), or a lawsuit brought to try and silence opponents.
.
“Zexi Li’s lawsuit engages the very purpose that ‘anti-SLAPP’ legislation was designed to address: an attempt to silence peaceful expression, and the right of defendants to participate in public debate,” lawyer James Manson said in the release.

At some point folks just say ‘Enough is enough’.
