OTTAWA—A lawyer representing Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber argued in court that the Crown can’t seize Barber’s long-haul truck “Big Red,” as the property has been neither seized previously nor subject to a restraint order.
“This is a very strange thing that the Crown is trying to do. It makes no sense within the statutory scheme,” lawyer Brendan Miller said in an Ottawa court on Sept. 12.
