King was an influential figure in the convoy movement that occupied the streets of downtown Ottawa for three weeks in 2022 to protest COVID-19 public health measures and the Liberal government
OTTAWA — "Freedom Convoy" organizer Pat King has been scheduled to stand trial beginning Nov. 27, andnow says he wants to be judged by a jury of his peers.A convoy of thousands of big rigs and other trucks began to roll into Ottawa on Jan. 27 last year and quickly blocked major roads and intersections in the core. Soon, similar protests were stood up at several international border crossings.
He was charged with mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to disobey a court order and counselling to obstruct police in connection to his actions during the protest. During the protests, King had livestreamed his activities to supporters and fellow protesters. Videos he posted on social media are expected to feature heavily during the trial.
The justice will also need to decide the extent which he can consider the findings of Justice Paul Rouleau, who was tasked with leading an inquiry into the government's invocation of the Emergencies Act during the protest. Rouleau's report, which is more than 2,000 pages long and was delivered in February, describes in painstaking detail the genesis of the protests, the response by police and different levels of government and the actions of the protesters.
