Convoy Protester Whose Bank Accounts Were Frozen Appeals Conviction

A Freedom Convoy protester who had his bank accounts frozen under the Emergencies Act will be appealing his conviction, with his lawyers set to argue that the court should consider whether his Charter Rights were violated.

Evan Blackman was convicted of mischief and obstructing police following his arrest in February 2022. He received a conditional discharge, 12 months of probation, 122 hours of community service, and a $200 victim fine surcharge.
