OTTAWA—Lawyers representing Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber continued arguing against the Crown’s attempts to seize his truck, with one saying he is seeking for the Crown to pay costs associated with its attempt.
Crown prosecutors are attempting to seize and auction off Barber’s truck, “Big Red,” which he used to travel from Saskatchewan to Ottawa in early 2022 for the Freedom Convoy protest. The demonstration was started to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other pandemic measures.
