Hi friends. Court about to reconvene.
If you need to pee, do it now. I'm not stopping this car until we get there.
In the statements prior to the break, the 1st Amendment and War Measures Act were brought up by Mr. Lich (proposed surety.) Lawyers we spoke with don't think he will make the cut
Tamara Lich is back in the court room. Four lawyers are defending Lich in the civil action. They are not revealing the name on the record who offered to drive them back to AB.
Claiming they will be delayed getting out of Ontario due to "traffic jams"
Judge Bourgeois quips: "Traffic jam? Where? Downtown core??" LOL!
Karimjee is talking about how Tamara has been billed a "great leader of the trucker movement" from a press interview Feb 14th where Lich says they "plan to stay planted" on Parliament hill.
She counselled members of Police and Military units to "follow their conscience" and disobey chain of command. "Just following orders has always been an excuse for those who ignore moral intuition."
Feb 17 - She was arrested and as she was being driven away, she shouted "hold the line" from the cruiser. Statement being entered as evidence that her influence is substantial.
"It was a call to uphold the occupation." Karimjee
Karimjee making argument this was not about mandates. Crown submitted evidence this morning for the record of truckers still "holding the line" as we are seeing on news and livestreams
Karimjee confident that the Crown has provided enough evidence to satisfy the to court that it should have no confidence in what Lich says about her regret and promise to stop.
Lich's husband flew to Ottawa on a private jet, but they can't make bail over $5,000
Mr. Lich being proposed as surety is another person who doesn't believe in the rule of law, and his evidence was borderline incredulous and unbelievable.
He suggests that what was happening in downtown Ottawa was simply "a traffic jam."
Mr. Lich also suggested to the court that the sounds from the protest were no worse than a construction site
Crown citing a case Regina V. Drainville from 1991.
"As the accused chosen form of expression constituted an unlawful act and not protected by The Charter"
The case he is citing was obstruction of only one roadway, not an entire downtown core.
"Anyone disregarding "rule of law" does so at their own peril"
She claims to be a leader of an organization. There are videos filed before the court of her instructing people to "hold the line" and they are still doing that. "One can not fuel a fire and be surprised when it spreads"
Crown is showing so many cases that won't allow Lich wiggle room on being held responsible. Too many to type and he talks really fast

Damnit Jim, I'm a broadcaster, not a stenographer!
"She was issuing press releases. She is the leader. We have a "truckload" of evidence from Ms. Lich herself."
"To release her with such overwhelming evidence would put the admin of justice in disrepute"
"Detention should follow in this case or it will make a mockery of this system. Someone can incite an occupation of a city over social media and then come to court and be set free? Even encouraging military to not follow orders?
Self-proclamation of law, but now will abide by the court orders? When you get arrested, you respect the law all of a sudden? That would make a mockery of our justice system.
Please note this is paraphrased. This guy could be the auctioneer at the impending fire sale! LOL

🚨 Crown has concluded his submission
Diane Magas for the defense.
"Dangerous to use case law in a bail hearing where all evidence isn't presented."
Magas is trying to say Lich didn't proclaim herself as a leader of this movement. "She said I'm just a mother."

Judge: She never corrected it, did she?
Magas: "What you have before the court is a woman with no "criminal record. She comes before the court and says she will obey the conditions. She wants to go home to her family and children"
Barber case cited. Judge says they are not charged with the same thing. Magas says they are charged for some of the same things. Semantics
Magas: No evidence of an organized group where Lich is the leader. There are different groups. Many different people have decided to protest. To hold Lich responsible for all, there is no evidence to support this.
Holy Christ.... The words "Hold the Line" have been placed into record so many times today. Getting tired of hearing it TBH lol
I'm on beer two. I have to pee again. Can I request a recess? Can we hold the line so I can put boots on the gorund and hang a leak, Your Honour?
Magas is arguing she deserves bail like any other case. Zero evidence to substantial likelihood she won't break bail conditions.
Magas is saying they may have been confused about what is or isn't a legal protest.
Seriously? Remember the EMA, donut? Yeeeeesh
Magas: "I understand ignorance of the law is not a defense, but orders were not clear from the EMA>"

What?!?! Remember the Ottawa cops tweeting hourly "YOU WILL BE ARRESTED"
The court has to consider their income and assets.They Lease their home. They don't have considerable financial means
Lich bought $80,000 in vehicles in the last 5 years btw
Her accounts have been frozen - Magas
Magas thinks $5000 bond is fine. People of modest means must match their finances.

Hey GriftSendGo. You wanna throw a line to your girl here? LOL
Judge Bourgeois is a loud, gulpy drinker. Like, whoa.... Mute is your friend!
Magas contesting the Crown's usage of the term "Criminal organization." There is no evidence before the court pointing to any specific group yet.
Magas grasping at straws now about the "It wasn't louder than a construction site." She just said maybe it is comparable at night when it's quiet. Wow, Matlock! Great defense! LMAO!
Judge asking for clarification on Lich's husband comparing her to JFK and John Lennon. frankly, we all are asking WTF that was about.
(Judge appears to be looking to establish her notoriety amongst the #ClownVoy)
Magas now citing gravity of offense. Counsel to mischief and counsel to obstruct. We have to be careful regarding acts and their impacts. Is she serious? Is she working for the Crown here?

Has she looked out the window?
We can't share photos or video, but handcuffed Lich is wearing a sweater that says "I ❤️OIL & GAS"
Correction - Not cuffed
Magas asking (with a straight face) for her to be ROR'd
Someone was ready to take her out of Ottawa today at noon. That train sailed. She needs to find another ride home. Magas says another plan is already underway
Defense has completed submission.
Reserving decision for Lich. Considering evidence and submissions. Reconvene Tuesday February 22 @ 9am.
Lich will appear in person at the Court house for the Tuesday remand.

Hope the cheese for the sandwiches made it to the jail with all the "traffic jams" around Ottawa.
New arrests are quarantined. Clerk cannot confirm if she can or cannot be transported to Court. Lich also stated for the record that she is not vaccinated
Court officer appears out of nowhere and says she will be on duty Tuesday AM. She will ensure Judge's request is relayed. Court officer cited the closures did not permit transport today. Wonder why the traffic was so bad?
Tamara Lich has left the "court"
And that my friends concludes this episode of "The #ClownConvoy Schadenfreude Sessions."
