The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms, a legal nonpartisan charity, announced the creation of “a network of defense lawyers to assist any Canadian truckers peacefully protesting for freedom from coronavirus restrictions and vaccine mandates.” “Anyone who may be facing arrest, the confiscation of property or has criminal law related questions in relation to the Ottawa Freedom Convoy protest can speak to a lawyer at no charge,” the Centre wrote in a statement to Fox News. FREEDOM CONVOY ORGANIZER ‘DOWNRIGHT DISGUSTED’ BY MEDIA COVERAGE, AMERICAN TRUCKER BLASTS ‘DISCONNECTED’ PRESSThe Canadian trucker convoy has made headlines for weeks as they protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the capital of Ottawa.
