I'll start the thread for the Tamara Lich bail review here.
Last week we left off as Justice Johnston finished taking submissions and replies from Diane Magas for the defence and Moiz Karimjee for the Crown.

As we wait, I'll go over some of the big-picture points from last week. Lich, through her lawyer, claimed she had concerns that the original bail hearing was bias due to Justice Bourgeois' former position as a Liberal Party candidate. Bourgeois also received praise from Trudeau.
Given that one of the major targets of the convoy protest was the Liberal party and Trudeau specifically, Lich & Magas claimed this raised a reasonable apprehension of bias. Moiz Karimjee countered that Bourgeois' granting of bail to Chris Barber disproved bias.
Ok. It looks like THIS will be my thread for the Tamara Lich hearing. There's an audio test going on now, things seem to be working properly. Let's leave the other thread as an archive to the hubris of mankind.

For background, Tamara Lich was denied bail, along with Pat King and George Billings. Another major player, Chris Barber, was granted bail.
Reasonable bail is a charter right, not to be denied without just cause.

Ok, we are now in session. We're not getting a warning about the recording of the proceeding from the registrar. I believe this is likely to have no effect.
Ok, here begins my live tweeting thread of the #billingsbail hearing. As usual, no I won't share the link with you, if you do have access don't livestream it like last time.

After stressing the clerks and trial coordinator at the Ottawa courthouse for nearly a week, I was finally given my Zoom credentials for the #truckerbail hearings (no, I won't share, don't ask). I was supposed to be at Hamilton courthouse today for a sentencing but snowed in.
(My wipers don't work and I'm not driving an hour plus unable to see)
Since @JamesDBowie, who's graciously kept all of us combobulated so far, is covering Pat King, I'll be looking at George Billings. Now your #truckerbail can be #bailwithbowie or #bailwithbest!
Who will win? (Probably Bowie, he's got way more followers.)
