If we needed any more proof that Freedom Convoy organizer Tamara Lich is a political prisoner, we received it Friday afternoon in the Ottawa courthouse.."Your detention is necessary to maintain confidence in the administration of justice," Justice of the Peace Paul Harris told the packed courtroom.."It is absolutely ridiculous to think the court order condition not to communicate and to have no contact could be superseded simply by your lawyers’ presence," Harris said..Lich's choice to meet with Marazzo at the gala added "fuel to the fire," according to Harris, and showed she is "not prepared to follow court orders.".Lich was actually in the courthouse after virtually participating in the judicial proceedings on Monday. She was rearrested in Medicine Hat, AB on June 27, and put back into custody..Ironically, it was Lich’s presence at the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms’s awards gala that sealed her fate. Ottawa police seized on the opportunity to issue a Canada-wide warrant for her arrest when they learned she had spoken with fellow Convoy organizer Tom Marazzo, actually sat with him at the same table, and, gasp, had a picture taken together..Harris had the gall to suggest that Lich should never have attend the dinner because it celebrated an event that “placed downtown citizens of the city of Ottawa in a state of fear.”.What utter tripe. My how these bureaucrats stick together..Lich meeting with Marazzo at the gala only added "fuel to the fire," according to Harris, and showed she is "not prepared to follow court orders.".Lich was the recipient of an award for promoting free speech, something Harris hasn’t probably thought of in a long time..It makes you wonder just where the hell this country is going..Her detention is “necessary to maintain confidence in the administration of justice?”.So why are judges releasing so many rapists and pedophiles? Do you have any confidence in the justice system because Lich is behind bars..I’m furious about this. What did Lich do to deserve prison in the first place anyway? She organized a peaceful protest that provoked an authoritarian government to get violent. There should be some cops and politicians being locked up right now, not Lich..I spoke to a number of supporters who were standing outside the courthouse awaiting the verdict. Kyle Norberry of the Freedom Fighters Canada put it this way, “Here we are trying to free a political prisoner who shouldn’t even be in jail right now.”.Norberry referred to the individual who ran over four Freedom Convoy protesters and was released from custody within four days. How was that for inspiring confidence in the justice system?.Norberry insisted that Lich was arrested again prior to Canada Day to stir the pot..“They wanted to incite a riot..“We held our ground. We stayed peaceful.”.When the word came in that Lich would be staying in jail, people began crying. The remorse was honest and evident. The verdict was unexpected..People began chanting, “Free Tamara, free Tamara.”.There is no question that no matter where you stand on the Freedom Convoy, on vaccine mandates, on whether you think Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was justified or not in bring down the Emergencies Act to smash this protest in February, Friday’s decision was a blockheaded one, issued by a dense justice of the peace who apparently can’t see how this is a exquisite example of how justice can have a double standard. If you wanted to make a martyr out of Lich, this justice has done so. Lich has done nothing wrong by anyone’s standard and this judge is treating her like a hardened criminal and Canadians will not tolerate this kind of B.S..This decision also further confirms the fears and concerns that the Liberal Party and Justin Trudeau are increasingly politicizing key pillars of society, such as the police, the military and the courts. Neither Lich nor Pat King should still be languishing in jail over a demonstration that occurred in February..Keeping Lich in jail will only keep protesters on the streets – where they should be as long as this insane government led by reckless politicians continue to talk about vaccine mandates, vaccines every nine months for eternity, lockdowns and authoritarian measures that will slowly but surely drives us all out of our mines.
