Pat King granted bail after 150 days behind bars on ‘Freedom Convoy’ charges
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/pat-king-freedom-convoy-bail-decision-1.6523763
Freedom Convoy leader Pat King granted bail
King had been in jail since February for role in Freedom Convoy protest
A key figure of the Freedom Convoy protest has been granted bail after spending five months in jail, an Ottawa court decided Monday.
Pat King emerged from the Elgin Street courthouse to hugs and cheers from supporters, who waved Canadian flags and chanted "freedom." King couldn't speak to reporters as a condition of his release.
The decision on King's bail status came after a two-day bail review hearing last week. There's a publication ban on the evidence and reasons for the decision.
King was back in an Ottawa courtroom after waiting months to hear if he would be released on bail, since his bail review in April came to an abrupt halt due to new charges against him and an apparent hacking of his lawyer's computer during the review.
King's then-defence lawyer had requested a review of the decision to keep him in custody until his trial begins.
Since then, King has tapped a new lawyer to fight for his release and defend him against a mounting number of charges.
King, an Alberta resident, was a leading figure in the weeks-long convoy protest against COVID-19 restrictions, and was arrested on Feb. 18 on four charges: mischief, counselling to commit mischief, counselling to commit the offence of disobeying a court order and counselling to obstruct police. He faces additional charges of obstructing justice and perjury.
On Monday, Justice Anne London-Weinstein read out the conditions of King's release. They are:
- To vacate Ottawa as soon as possible, and no later than 24 hours.
- To reside with a surety under supervision until he can take a flight to Edmonton.
- Ottawa Police Service can check the surety's residence if required.
- To reside with a surety in Alberta.
- To be in employment under a surety.
- To have no contact or communication with other Freedom Convoy leaders and stakeholders: Chris Barber, Tamara Lich, Daniel Bulford, Benjamin Dichter, James Bauder, Tyson Billings, Owen Swiderski, Tom Marrazzo, and Brian Carr. (Unless it's through counsel, or for his preparations for defence for his criminal charges.)
- No protesting or public assembly, specifically related to COVID-19 pandemic, the Freedom Convoy and anti-government demonstration.
- No social media in any form, no posting messages or having others post on his behalf. He must deactivate his Real Pat King website, Facebook page and other social media accounts within 48 hours, through a surety or counsel.
- No giving interviews, including on social media.
- To abide by a curfew of 10 p.m. to 6 a.m., unless he's with sureties. King must provide proof to police he is with a surety, if he's unavailable for a door-knock check.
- King must post a $25,000 cash bond, to guarantee his next court appearance.
- No possession of weapons or ammunition.
In June, a pastor who tried visiting regularly with King in jail at the Ottawa-Carleton Detention Centre said King was "pretty beat down."

Freedom Convoy leader Pat King granted bail
‘Freedom Convoy’ organizer Pat King granted bail
Author of the article:
OTTAWA - Pat King, an organizer of the “Freedom Convoy” that paralyzed downtown Ottawa for three weeks last winter, has been granted bail.
The decision was delivered in an Ottawa courtroom Monday by Superior Court Justice Anne London-Weinstein.
OTTAWA - Pat King, an organizer of the “Freedom Convoy” that paralyzed downtown Ottawa for three weeks last winter, has been granted bail.
The decision was delivered in an Ottawa courtroom Monday by Superior Court Justice Anne London-Weinstein.
The proceedings were covered by a publication ban.
King nodded as the judge’s reasons were handed down, wearing a plaid shirt and his hair in a long braid.
In the courtroom, supporters wearing t-shirts that said “Free Pat King” brought tissues to their eyes as the judge delivered her decision.
London-Weinstein said King will have to leave Ottawa within 24 hours to return to Alberta, where he will be required to live with a surety.
When he emerged from the courthouse, King was met with cheers and a chant of “freedom” from a dozen supporters. He responded by pumping his fist in the air.
Conditions of King’s bail include a ban on social media use and to refrain from taking part in activities related to the convoy.
King is also forbidden from contacting other convoy organizers including Chris Barber, Benjamin Dichter, Tamara Lich and Tom Marazzo unless in the presence of counsel.
He is also expected to adhere to a curfew of 10 p.m. until 6 a.m.
Asked on the courthouse steps if King can abide by the bail conditions, his lawyer, Natasha Calvinho, said: “I think he can. I think that the five months in jail has been a harsh situation ... I think that he will.”
King was back in court last week after a hearing in April came to an abrupt halt when his lawyer’s computer appeared to be hacked.
The day after the April hearing, the Crown announced it was charging King with three counts each of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The latest accusations were in addition to 10 charges related to King’s involvement in the Ottawa events last winter.
The previous charges include mischief, intimidation, obstructing police and disobeying a court order.
Hundreds of big rigs and other trucks caused gridlock on Ottawa’s downtown streets for weeks as people protested COVID-19 health restrictions and the Liberal government.

Bail review for 'Freedom Convoy' organizer Pat King to continue on Thursday
An earlier hearing in April came to an abrupt and unexpected halt when his lawyer's computer appeared to be hacked
Author of the article:
“Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King is waiting to hear whether he will be released on bail, with a bail review set to continue for a second day Thursday.
He was back in an Ottawa courtroom Wednesday after an earlier hearing in April came to an abrupt and unexpected halt when his lawyer's computer appeared to be hacked.
Since then, King has tapped a new lawyer to fight for his release and defend him against a mounting number of charges.
The day after the April hearing, the Crown announced it was charging King with three counts each of perjury and obstruction of justice.
The details of the testimony that led to those allegations are protected by a publication ban.
The proceedings on Wednesday were also covered by a publication ban.
The latest accusations are in addition to 10 charges related to King's involvement in the downtown Ottawa protest earlier this year.
The previous charges include mischief, intimidation, obstructing police and disobeying a court order.
King was arrested on Feb. 18 for his involvement in the three-week protest against COVID-19 restrictions that overran the streets of Ottawa.

Freedom convoy leader Tamara Lich arrested in Alberta, accused of breaching bail conditions
Lich told her lawyer she is expecting to be transported to Ontario in the next week
Lich was taken into custody Monday evening, according to Keith Wilson, who represents Lich on her non-criminal cases including a lawsuit.
Wilson, who spoke with Lich after her arrest, says she expects to be transported back to Ottawa in the next week.
Eric Granger, who is one of Lich's criminal defence lawyers also confirmed Lich's arrest.
Granger says he has no reason to believe his client has done anything wrong and is "looking to learn more at this stage."
"Based on everything we knew, she's been diligently complying with all of her bail conditions as was noted by the judge at her recent bail review.
While it's not yet clear which bail conditions she is accused of breaching, there is speculation on social media that Lich might be in legal trouble over a Facebook photo that shows her beside a fellow convoy organizer who she was ordered to stay away from by a judge.
Canada-wide warrant
Lich faces charges of mischief, counselling mischief, obstructing police, counselling to obstruct police, counselling intimidation and intimidation by blocking and obstructing one or more highways for her role as one of the organizers of the protest that shut down much of downtown Ottawa earlier this year.
RCMP confirmed Lich was wanted on a Canada-wide warrant for breaching her release order but did not have further information as the arrest falls within the jurisdiction of the Medicine Hat Police Service (MHPS).
The MHPS says it will not release information until Tuesday morning.
The anti-COVID-19 restriction blockades gridlocked Ottawa for three weeks last winter as protesters parked trucks that blocked neighbourhood access and main arteries around Parliament Hill.
After her arrest, Lich was released on bail in March on conditions which include staying off social media. She cannot organize any kind of protest and she is also not permitted to contact several of the other convoy leaders, including Tom Marazzo, an ex-military officer, who also had a failed bid as an Ontario MPP candidate.
Lich was subject to a bail review last month where prosecutors unsuccessfully sought to have her taken back into custody for allegedly violating her bail condition that she not support anything related to the Freedom Convoy.
Weeks after she was granted release in March, Lich was notified she'd been selected as a recipient of a freedom award, handed out by the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF), a legal organization and registered charity based in Calgary.
Tamara Lich, fourth from the left, was ordered by a judge to have no contact with fellow convoy organizer Tom Marazzo, who is tagged as being second from the right. This photo shows the group in Toronto after Lich accepted her freedom award from the JCCF. (Facebook/Stacey Kauder )
The awards ceremony took place on June 16 in Toronto.
The Ottawa judge ruled he would not revoke Lich's bail and instead, varied her conditions to allow travel to Ontario with a restriction that she be banned from entering the capital's downtown core.
Lich's reasoning for wanting to travel back to Ottawa is protected by a court-ordered publication ban and cannot be reported.
But on June 17, the day after the freedom awards were presented, Stacey Kauder, who describes Lich as a friend, posted a photo to her Facebook page showing Lich with her husband and four other attendees at the JCCF gala.
To Lich's left is a man identified as Marazzo, a fellow convoy organizer, who she was ordered to have no contact with unless her lawyer is present.
Friends of the two convoy organizers speculated on social media that Lich was allowed to have contact with Marazzo at the event because there were lawyers for the JCCF present who also represent Lich in her civil matters.

Trudeau says Ottawa 'had a lot of questions' after N.S. mass shooting
but didn't interfere in investigation
'What we're seeing is this tragedy being used to further a political
agenda,' says families' lawyer

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the federal government had
questions about the 2020 mass shooting in Nova Scotia but remained
adamant his government did not interfere in the investigation.
His comments come as the law firm representing the families of more
than a dozen of the victims pushes to have a member of Trudeau's
cabinet testify following allegations there was political pressure
about what to say in the aftermath of the deadliest mass shooting in
Canadian history.
Members of Parliament on the House of Commons Public Safety and
National Security Committee voted Thursday to call key players —
including RCMP Commissioner Brenda Lucki, Nova Scotia RCMP Supt.
Darren Campbell, former RCMP communications director Lia Scanlan, and
Emergency Preparedness Minister Bill Blair — to testify at committee
next month into allegations of political interference.
An exact date for the meeting has not been set.
"We did not put any undue influence or pressure. It is extremely
important to highlight that it is only the RCMP, it is only police
that determine what and when to release information," said Trudeau,
during a Thursday scrum with reporters in Kigali, Rwanda where he's
attending a Commonwealth summit.
"I will highlight, however, that when the worst mass shooting in
Canada's history happened, we had a lot of questions. Canadians had a
lot of questions."
Rob Pineo, a partner at Patterson Law, said they will be asking that
Blair, who was the minister of public safety at the time of the
shooting spree, and former Nova Scotia justice minister Mark Furey
appear before the Mass Casualty Commission about any potential
interference.

mass shooting probe

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau responds to questions about whether his
government interfered with the investigation into the 2020 mass
shooting in Nova Scotia.
The inquiry is investigating the April 18-19, 2020, rampage that
claimed the lives of 22 people — including a pregnant woman — and left
several people injured and several homes destroyed.
"Certainly we want to get to the bottom of it and we think that this
inquiry is the perfect forum in which to do that," Pineo said from
Truro, N.S.
"It's very disturbing if in fact it turns out to be factual. Really,
from our client's point of view, what we're seeing is this tragedy
being used to further a political agenda and political careers and
quite frankly, that's very upsetting to our clients."
Trudeau said he still "very much" has confidence in Lucki, who he
appointed in 2018, as she battles a new scandal after handwritten
notes from Nova Scotia RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell were released
earlier this week as part of the inquiry.
In Campbell's notes, which were written after an April 28, 2020
conference call between headquarters and the division, he alleges that
Lucki was upset that the RCMP in Nova Scotia were not revealing more
information about the weapons used because she had promised the
federal government — which was considering gun control legislation at
the time — that they would raise it.
Mountie who wrote that RCMP head interfered in N.S. investigation
'came to his own conclusions,' says Blair
Top Mountie denies claim she interfered in N.S. shooting investigation
"The Commissioner said she had promised the minister of public safety
and the Prime Minister's Office that the RCMP would release this
information," he wrote.
Campbell said he believed releasing information about the firearms
might hurt the investigation.
"I tried to explain there was no intent to disrespect anyone, however
we could not release this information at this time. The commissioner
then said that we didn't understand, that this was tied to pending gun
control legislation that would make officers and the public safer," he
wrote.
Gun ban announced days later
Just days after that April 28 meeting, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
announced a ban on some 1,500 firearm makes and models, including two
of the guns used in the Nova Scotia mass shooting — a Colt Law
Enforcement Carbine, a semi-automatic weapon, and a Ruger Mini-14.
At that time, police had still not released the specific makes and
models used in the attacks. That information didn't become public
until the fall of 2020, when the National Post reported details of the
weapons after obtaining a briefing note prepared for the prime
minister after the shooting.
Investigators have said they believe the shooter, Gabriel Wortman, who
didn't have a firearms licence, obtained three of the guns used during
the massacre in Maine and smuggled them into Canada.
In his notes from the time, RCMP Supt. Darren Campbell wrote that

were not revealing more information about the weapons used in the
April 2020 mass shooting. The notes were released Tuesday as part of
the Mass Casualty Commission probe. (Robert Guertin/CBC)
Lucki issued a statement Tuesday evening where she wrote that
briefings with the public safety minister are necessary, particularly
during a mass shooting, but said there was no interference.
"I would never take actions or decisions that could jeopardize an
investigation," she wrote. "I take the principle of police
independence extremely seriously, and it has been and will continue to
be fully respected in all interactions."
Trudeau said he received regular briefings on what police knew and
didn't know abut the shooter and the case.
"Those answers continue to come out," he said. "We will continue to
take responsible action."
On Wednesday Blair swatted down Campbell's written account of the call.
"The superintendent obviously came to his own conclusions and his
notes reflect that," he said.

The government continued to deny allegations of political interference
in the Nova Scotia mass shooting investigation. A report alleged RCMP
Commissioner Brenda Lucki asked officers for more information about
guns used in the massacre to share with the public safety minister and
the prime minister as they worked on new gun-control legislation.
"But I'm telling you, and I would tell the superintendent if I spoke
to him, I made no effort to pressure the RCMP to interfere in any way
with their investigation. I gave no direction as to what information
they should communicate."
In a statement to CBC News Thursday, Campbell declined to respond
saying he's waiting to be interviewed by the Mass Casualty Commission.
"I also expect to be called to the MCC as a witness sometime near the
end of July and I look forward to both opportunities," he wrote.
"As such, it would be inappropriate for me to make any public comments
prior to giving evidence under oath. I hope that you understand."
Ex-communications head says there was 'political pressure'
Campbell is not the only one to have flagged influence coming from
Ottawa during the rampage's aftermath.
In an interview with commission investigators earlier this year, Lia
Scanlan, the RCMP's former civilian director of the strategic
communications unit in the province, said Blair and the prime minister
"were weighing in on what we could and couldn't say."
She said Lucki was advised not to do media interviews but did anyway,
and in so doing, gave inaccurate information
Lucki initially shared that 17 people died, information RCMP had
confirmed internally, when the local commanders only said "in excess
of 10" people lost lives in a press briefing the evening of April 19.
"She went out and did that and knew damn well – and it was all
political pressure," said Scanlan.

April 2020. (Andrew Vaughan/The Canadian Press)
"That is 100 per cent Minister Blair and the prime minister and we
have a commissioner that does not push back."
'Not necessarily illegal,' says criminology prof
Michael Kempa, an associate professor of criminology, said a minister
or a mayor asking for information is not illegal, but it's not
necessarily appropriate.
"I was not surprised, but I was dismayed in the sense that this type
of political interference in RCMP operations has been all too common.
It's not necessarily illegal, but where it's not done properly — in
writing, in public so that citizens can decide whether or not it's
reasonable — It brings the RCMP into disrepute," he said.
"It's a shame for the RCMP that this type of thing continues to happen."
While the RCMP commissioner is accountable to the minister, they are
meant to operate independently.
The Supreme Court of Canada has made clear that the "commissioner is
not to be considered a servant or agent of the government while
engaged in a criminal investigation."
Public Safety Minister Marco Mendicino said "there was an exchange of
information" after the shooting but maintained there was no
interference.
"I think it is incredibly important that Canadians have trust in their
institutions, including the RCMP and all law enforcement," said
Mendicino, who has been tasked with reforming the RCMP.
"What is important for Canadians is that there is a line of respect
that was demonstrated around the principle of operational
independence."
Kempa said with a cloud of doubt hovering over the country's national
police force, Blair should testify under oath.
"Unfortunately, given that we've got to where we are it should be the
case that Minister Blair gives testimony under oath, if for no other
reason to reassure Canadians who are watching, that there was nothing
untoward," he said.
Calls for House committee investigation
On Wednesday evening, Mendicino said he hadn't spoken to Lucki.
The minister said he will let the commission review the facts.
