Tamara Leach was arrested again on June 27 after a Canada-wide warrant was put out for her for alleged breach of court condition. Her arrest resulted in lots of reactions across the country, and I wanted to get the reaction of Canadians who came to Ottawa for the arrival of veteran James Topp and the celebrations of Canada Day, what they thought of Leach's arrest.
00:00:00.320Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Leach was arrested again on June 27 after a Canada-wide warrant was put out for her for alleged breach of court condition.
00:00:14.680Her arrest resulted in lots of reactions across the country and I wanted to get the reaction of Canadians who came to Ottawa for the arrival of veteran James Topp
00:00:25.380and the celebrations of Canada Day, what they thought of Leach's arrest.
00:00:31.840What did you make of Tamara Leach being arrested a second time?0.88
00:00:34.860Well, I think it's totally political and it's just Justin Trudeau's way of putting pressure on people and trying to discourage us from standing up for freedom.
00:00:47.700And the crime that she was charged with is a misdemeanor. It should have been maybe some probation, but what's happened to her now is terrible.
00:00:58.660I feel for her. I'm ashamed of the people who are carrying out these orders.
00:01:04.980So I was very, very sad and I lost some sleep that night when my daughter told me around 7 p.m. she said she's been arrested at Medicine Hat.
00:01:16.900I said, what? To me, she's a beacon of light and hope.
00:01:21.940I just feel that it's harassment. I do feel badly for her.
00:01:26.960It's just harassment. More harassment. And I just have to pray. Pray for her.
00:01:36.400The fact that they're wasting taxpayers' money on such a beautiful person who is only in Alberta singing her heart out,
00:01:43.380that they would make that effort just to jab us in the side.
00:01:47.920But we're strong. There's more of us together than we are alone, you know?
00:01:54.600And I just think, yeah, it was appalling. It's very appalling.
00:01:58.400Everything that's happening is very appalling.
00:02:00.800Well, to me, it seems to be, you know, the bait tactic, right?
00:02:04.820Trying to see if they can rile up some crowds to stir up some controversy here at Canada Day.
00:02:10.340So hopefully everyone just stays respectful, you know, and doesn't take the bait because that's what they want, right?
00:02:15.160To try to spin it, you know, like, say, the mainstream media, Trudeau liberals, right?
00:02:19.460They want to spin it and use her as basically a political prisoner to bait people into doing something unsavory, right?1.00
00:02:25.940Just to try to cause controversy, so that's what they can capture on the news and try to spin it for, you know, their narrative.
00:02:31.540So hopefully everyone remains peaceful, and hopefully she gets a fair, you know, shot at the bail as well coming out.
00:02:39.240If it wasn't a political example, it's, as my husband just said, it was also just trying to set an example to us of, look what can happen to you.
00:02:48.040Like, we'll throw you in here as well this weekend if you are disrespectful.0.80
00:02:51.140So she's arrested for getting a picture taken with someone else who values freedom in Canada.
00:03:01.460You're all a bunch of freaks out there, and you know it, because what you're doing is trying to vilify and demonize true freedom-loving people.
00:03:18.160Now you've arrested her, almost like you were trying to stir up anger, almost like you were trying to make a problem when there didn't need to be a problem.0.98
00:03:29.020So now we have political prisoners in Canada.
