welcome back to another episode of stand on guard i'm your host david creighton thank you so much
00:00:08.080
for joining me today i promised i would be a little later today with the broadcast because
00:00:14.200
i was at the freedom convoy trial of tamara leach and chris barber and i want to tell you
00:00:20.220
everything that happened i was there we'll be right back with more so we are in a very precarious
00:00:28.120
position in this country we need political change but we also need to resolve to resist
00:00:35.120
yeah please like the station give a smash that like button give us the thumbs up
00:00:53.920
and subscribe youtube loves to suppress subscriptions because they can tell you
00:00:59.520
nobody likes your station so we're going to demonetize you or we're going to make sure you
00:01:05.740
don't get the numbers you need or or you're not going to get more subscribers we're going to
00:01:10.120
unsubscribe them so it's a bit of a game we play with youtube but we're winning thanks to you
00:01:15.440
we're winning and you know what i think chris barber and tamara leach are winning too i just got back i
00:01:21.700
mean literally half an hour ago from the freedom convoy trial that's what i call it it's a freedom
00:01:26.900
convoy trial this is a political trial this is a kangaroo court no i won't call it a kangaroo court
00:01:31.780
because there's a good judge there that is a saving grace here but it's it's a political trial
00:01:37.660
because they should never have been put on trial and blame the judge for this heather perkins mcveigh
00:01:42.620
has been very fair and she was fair again today and and you'll find out she actually quipped at one
00:01:49.300
point about evidence presented by the prosecution but i will call it a bit of a show trial not once
00:01:56.640
again because of the judge i have a lot of i have a lot of respect for this judge i think she's doing
00:02:00.960
a good job but this is a political farce should never have come to this no way as is a mischief charge
00:02:08.620
charge take 11 months now this was day 43 i sat down with lawrence greenspawn before the trial began
00:02:19.140
because everything was late they couldn't get their computers working properly they could they
00:02:23.840
couldn't get the zoom going so everything was about a half hour late so i sat down with lawrence
00:02:28.800
greenspawn who is tamara leach's lead attorney he's the lead attorney for both of them to some degree
00:02:34.840
because and he's a he is one of the best in ottawa he's he's a criminal and civil lawyer one of the
00:02:41.180
best in ottawa he's doing a bang up job and i said how long has this been going on he says we're on day
00:02:46.940
43 today this thing started on september the 5th 2023 that was the the tuesday after the long weekend
00:02:58.460
the long labor day weekend that's when this trial began and what are they accused of murder no
00:03:04.820
no robbery no sexual assault no they're accused of mischief and counseling to mischief
00:03:13.160
you know what that usually amounts to yeah you you bet you it's usually resolved before they even go
00:03:20.600
to trial and if it goes to trial it sure as hell lasts maybe two days but this has gone on since
00:03:27.540
september 5th and it is ludicrous that's all i can say ludicrous and lawrence greenspawn agreed with me
00:03:34.040
saying you know i i guess can't believe that the prosecution the crown keeps adding more and more
00:03:41.360
evidence just more superfluous documents really that the judge has to assess and this week was supposed
00:03:50.000
to be the final statements the concluding statements for both the crown and the defense
00:03:59.300
well the crown took two bloody days in their concluding statement now they're about three
00:04:07.120
days behind and we have to go into next week to hear all of the defense final statements which
00:04:16.080
basically is the entire defense case they have put it all in their concluding statements so far they're
00:04:26.000
doing from what i heard today they're doing an excellent job of getting the points across
00:04:30.560
and you can see yes i was there on behalf of the post-millennial i got a story up by before
00:04:41.020
4 30 this afternoon soon as the trial was over yeah i was typing away all afternoon as we were as we
00:04:49.540
were working great picture there of chris barber and tamara leach outside the audible courthouse
00:04:55.060
yeah there they are this has become their second home they come out you have to remember he's from
00:05:00.400
saskatchewan she's from alberta medicine hat uh i believe he's swift current and they come all of this
00:05:07.000
way every time they have to come back for trial this is called lawfare they're waging lawfare against
00:05:15.160
these two so they can rack up huge legal bills and they're trying to destroy them financially
00:05:20.080
trying to give them anxiety attacks trying to ensure they just don't enjoy life and they just
00:05:26.740
regret that they ever oppose the trudeau government don't forget as well though it's not just trudeau
00:05:32.940
here trudeau was not taken in the court trudeau invoked the emergencies act that caused all this
00:05:37.240
nonsense trudeau is the one that really pushed to have the freedom convoy snuffed out
00:05:42.560
but doug ford took these two to trial this is a provincial matter it's they're in a provincial
00:05:48.860
courthouse this is doug foe the doug scus doug doug foe conservative doug ford the foe conservative
00:05:55.140
who's doing this let's not forget that let's not give doug ford a pass for anything because he signed
00:06:01.840
on the dotted line for the invocation of the emergencies act nobody liked the emergencies act more
00:06:07.520
than doug ford he thought it was a great idea yeah and some so-called conservative pundits and
00:06:14.420
writers said good for you doug ford yeah get rid of those blue collar trucking convoy people who were
00:06:24.760
just causing all this stir in ottawa and and at the borders at coots and niagara falls and yeah i mean it
00:06:33.600
was absolutely ludicrous but that's that's where we are so here they are back for their final
00:06:42.840
conclusion we're not going to get a verdict and green lawrence greenspawn told me this today
00:06:47.260
twice we're not going to see a verdict he he predicts now nothing is certain in in the law
00:06:53.840
but he predicts that we're not going to see a verdict now until early maybe later 2025
00:07:01.840
that means we're going to have a year and a half putting these two people through chronic hell
00:07:10.240
financial distress just so the political masters and the deep state can be appeased that's what
00:07:19.340
this is all about so we had a good chance here so we're outside now the court the ottawa court has
00:07:24.440
i'm waiting for the freedom convoy lawyers to come out diane magus was the lawyer representing chris
00:07:34.640
barber this morning and what they're trying to do of course is to speak for chris barber because the
00:07:42.220
prosecution the crown is trying to make this all about chris barbering to link
00:07:47.680
tamera leach to chris barber through something called the carter application we've discussed this
00:07:55.880
in the past so that whatever chris barber is found guilty of tamera leach will automatically be found
00:08:03.620
guilty of as well so the defense today just starting today because the prosecution has set this trial back
00:08:13.760
at least another day or two again they're talking exclusively chris barber this morning
00:08:21.080
because they're combating the prosecution's attempt to make this into just one person and link tamera leach
00:08:30.460
with chris barber so if you misunderstood that i'll repeat it here what the prosecution the crown is
00:08:40.040
trying to do is target chris barber because he was more of the operational type he was a trucker himself
00:08:46.500
he was out there with the truckers every day more as we would say in the military he was the operator
00:08:51.900
he was the one engaging with the trucker on the street but what we learned today though is of course
00:08:59.960
it wasn't chris barber's idea to park everybody's truck on the street and block traffic that was the
00:09:04.400
police service's idea the ottawa police service said that what chris barber wanted to do
00:09:09.100
was to do slow rolls through the downtown core i don't know once a day and as his lawyer
00:09:17.460
diane magus pointed out today that might have caused a bit of grievance to city dwellers
00:09:26.480
to some businesses maybe a little grievance once a day but it wouldn't have shut down the city
00:09:32.620
the cops in ottawa shut down the city it was their idea to have everybody park no you're not doing a
00:09:39.660
so slow roll you're gonna park so what could they do they obeyed the police and they parked so it was
00:09:48.380
chris barber didn't didn't cause the gridlock which was everybody complained about the gridlock they
00:09:53.940
occupied the downtown core well that was the cops idea they wanted to park outside the downtown core
00:10:01.900
and to do slow rolls maybe once a day that was the plan it's all in chris barber's text and diane
00:10:07.880
magus was reading from these texts text after text after text and once again it shows it demonstrates
00:10:14.400
chris barber was completely committed to peaceful protest he was completely committed to not blockading
00:10:22.240
the streets to not tying up traffic to not creating gridlock in fact he he actually went out of his way to
00:10:28.680
clear the streets and kent street here in ottawa which is one of the main arteries that leads downtown
00:10:32.940
to wellington which is right in front of parliament hill he was doing his best to clear the traffic
00:10:38.840
once again the prosecution totally ignored that they have it's been a clown show for the prosecution
00:10:47.060
let's put it that way everything they've done has been a disaster they played video clip after video clip
00:10:53.220
in the first months of this trial and it has become a trial believe me in every sense of the word
00:11:00.280
and every clip they played had either chris barber or tamera leach saying please protest peacefully do not
00:11:08.140
bother people downtown obey the police every one of them and they looked stupid so what are they trying
00:11:15.220
to do this week well they're saying it's all chris barber's fault and because he was a co-conspirator
00:11:24.760
with tamera leach whatever chris barber did tamera leach did too that's good that's part of a legal device
00:11:31.080
called the carter application i won't get into that but that's technically what it is so she would be guilty
00:11:38.680
of whatever he did they figure he's the weakest link in this except uh-huh you look at his his text
00:11:45.280
messages you look at his videos you look at the material he put on social media and they did the
00:11:52.320
prosecution's case falls to pieces weakest link no he's a strong link and he's been a strong link and
00:12:00.880
neither of them i believe are going to be convicted in this because there's absolutely no evidence of
00:12:07.320
wrongdoing they peacefully protested for us so that we didn't have to be subject to covet 19 mandates
00:12:14.360
at trudeau's whim and at doug ford's whim and premiers across this province's whim across this
00:12:22.280
country's whim that's what they were fighting for we have to remember that that's what this was all about
00:12:28.400
and i tell you listen to chris barber at the emergencies act inquiry he he makes the case quite
00:12:35.640
succinctly tell you that if anybody learned anything or grow grew more during the convoy it was me i uh i
00:12:43.720
was uh i was a different person nine months ago whatever it was ten months ago um coming out here
00:12:51.240
and seeing the amount of love and the people of all different colors all different race everything it
00:12:57.800
was it was it was such a diverse crowd of people here there was um so there were so many tears there
00:13:03.480
were so many hugs there was so much laughter there was so much it was it changed the person it changed me
00:13:16.520
yeah changed me too i covered the freedom convoy from the very beginning to the very end until trudeau
00:13:27.480
sent out the police to smash heads and to squash the protesters i was there changed me too i never
00:13:36.040
really considered myself a populist i was a small c conservative small l libertarian you take your pick
00:13:43.080
but i really didn't consider myself a populist i didn't really understand
00:13:49.000
a lot of issues surrounding blue collar workers i sure as hell did after this
00:13:53.560
and it was a very profound and moving experience for me as well and for these jerks
00:14:01.240
to suggest that there's some sort of co-conspiracy going on here this is absolutely ridiculous it's
00:14:12.360
and it's it's absolutely ridiculous to suggest that there's anything going on here but peaceful
00:14:17.640
protest and i tell you the prosecution the crown has been unable to prove that or even demonstrate
00:14:24.200
it even hint at it so far and you have to laugh at this i mean tamara leach posted this today about
00:14:31.880
and and the judge actually raised this one because the
00:14:37.000
crown suggested there was some sort of collusion because tamara leach
00:14:40.840
and one of the protesters were wearing the same hoodie so what is this a club what is this some
00:14:47.160
sort of secret society they they're wearing the same clothes
00:14:56.920
sitting in there wondering what in the hell is going on with this and the judge says well maybe there
00:15:01.720
is a snail the judge can see through this these aren't even speeches arguments
00:15:11.960
these are absolutely stupid statements made by the prosecution it is a real clown show and if you see
00:15:18.920
these two yeah they really fit the bill and they've been doing this from day one since this trial began
00:15:25.320
almost a year ago now we're three weeks away from this being a year old trial but it's been a clown
00:15:32.280
show from the prosecution from day one it's embarrassing to watch them but that's why they've
00:15:37.960
kept the work of the defense to a minimum because they've done such a good job of completely
00:15:47.400
demonstrating the innocence of tamara leach and chris forever it has really been
00:15:52.760
enlightening to watch how bad bad can be you know and tamara issued a statement today
00:16:00.600
and saying you know dear canada and i'm just going to read a couple lines i put my glasses on to do so
00:16:05.800
but as we head into day 41 of the longest mr trial of all time this was at the beginning of the week
00:16:11.560
this was when the trial resumed on tuesday i just want to extend my gratitude to all of you for your
00:16:16.600
overwhelming support your thoughtful and kind messages and for your prayers they mean more
00:16:22.680
than you can ever fully know and i appreciate all of you thanks to our legal teams who have been
00:16:28.120
nothing short of outstanding and to all of you supporters who continue to show up in court day
00:16:32.520
after day and yes the same people who were there on september 5th are there again we're there again today
00:16:38.680
11 months later this political persecution has been a slog to say the least i'm getting tired but
00:16:49.160
the fight must and will continue she says they likely thought i'd be some kind of shrinking violet
00:16:55.320
but they picked on the wrong canadian prairie woman freedom is just another word for nothing left to lose
00:17:02.200
janice drop one actually it's from a song i think i love you and we love you too tamara for what you've
00:17:12.280
done and you continue to fight and yes i know they're getting a lot of their legal bills paid for
00:17:20.360
thank god because they would be ruined they would have had to they would have had to sell their house
00:17:25.960
and their car and anything they own to survive this part thank god there are concerned people out
00:17:31.720
there raising money for them concerned interest conservative interest groups that are helping
00:17:36.520
them they're not paying for the hotel bills they're not paying for the gas they're not paying for the
00:17:42.280
food that it takes when you come out here from ottawa and you have to live here for a week they were
00:17:49.720
expecting to go back today thanks to the crown again thank you crown they're not going back till next
00:17:55.880
friday so they've got to spend another week in ottawa thank you crown for your hard work and what the
00:18:03.320
hell you think you're doing you're not working for canadians how many millions of dollars do you
00:18:09.240
suppose have got have the crown has put into this on a mischief charge just to try to convict two
00:18:15.400
freedom fighters millions of dollars have gone into this i mean how in the hell would they have noticed
00:18:22.680
a woman was wearing the same hoodie with the same slogan on it as tamara leach who would have known
00:18:29.400
that great moment today in the trial when diane magus talked about what does hold the line mean and of
00:18:38.280
course the idiots in the in the prosecution side say this is some sort of insidious phrase this is
00:18:45.480
some sort of insurrectional insurrectionist phrase you say hold the line you're trying to take over
00:18:51.960
the government or you're trying to resist authorities but yet they have there's a video clip i wish i had
00:18:58.680
it right now of former premier brian peckford who was out there supporting the freedom convoy with both
00:19:05.800
guns and you better say that metaphor i'm saying it metaphorically both guns shipping he said the same thing
00:19:15.720
we need to hold the line because this is about our charter of rights is it real or not
00:19:23.960
it's not a privilege to have freedom of speech it's not a privilege to have freedom of assembly it's not
00:19:29.800
a privilege to have the right to protest that is guaranteed in the charter of rights
00:19:36.440
does it exist for tamara leach and chris barber does that right exist for you and i will we have
00:19:41.720
freedom of speech if justin trudeau passes his online harms act and crushes us further no we won't
00:19:47.160
so that's why this trial is so important that's why i've been there from day one and i will continue
00:19:51.080
to report about this trial because it is seminal in the history of canada it's all about our freedom
00:19:57.720
and justin trudeau's desire to take that freedom away yeah doug ford's desire to take that freedom away
00:20:04.200
away and every tin pot little dictator who thinks he or she is a good premier and took our rights away
00:20:11.480
during the pandemic who who stomped on our constitutional rights and they'll do it again
00:20:20.920
unless we say no and this is why i am here and that's why i'll stay here and i'm going to fight
00:20:27.160
for freedom i'm going to fight for free speech and freedom of assembly and everything that's going on
00:20:32.200
in this freedom convoy trial thank you for your comments coming in by the way i'm going to read
00:20:35.640
some before we we sign out today i'm tired it's been a long day but i'm really really enthused
00:20:44.680
about what happened at this courthouse today because i saw some truth and i talked to tamara
00:20:50.920
tamara told me you know she's had some nasty emails i won't elaborate because i didn't ask her if i could
00:20:57.320
talk about it but she told me she's had some very nasty emails this week from very hateful people
00:21:03.720
there's a lot of people who hate tamara leach because she stood up and she resisted
00:21:08.760
dictatorship and totalitarian impulses from our trudeau government they hate her for that
00:21:14.600
they really do but there's a lot of people there who love tamara leach and here's here's one of them i
00:21:19.960
just want to show you this this clip that i did today so we're outside the courthouse now
00:21:24.280
and we have one supporter of tamara and tamara leach and chris barber
00:21:38.840
okay so so tell me your name please i'm mike quigley i'm a political artist i
00:21:46.680
reside in columbia british columbia and i've come across to
00:21:50.440
be able to support our political prisoners and my objective number one is through to educate
00:21:57.400
number two is to donate it doesn't matter the amount of donation but it's the number of canadians
00:22:03.560
that donate and say hey not in our canada and number three is to provide a tamara hug and if in fact we
00:22:11.720
hug one another we are canadians and we are known for our peacekeeping we can have a difference of
00:22:19.080
opinion we can go into a room we can leave with a handshake or a hug and that makes us definitively
00:22:25.000
canadian different than anywhere else in the world and i think it's time that we take our dna and put it
00:22:30.440
back into the world of peace and and understand what our position is in the world and so that's my objective
00:22:39.800
to pass on a a vote of confidence for this world we don't need more government we just need more
00:22:47.080
love so you say you're you are collecting donations no i i do not i just direct people to help tamara.com
00:22:56.440
in this case friday night pat king's got a bit of a um a music festival that tamara is going to be
00:23:03.720
singing at and i'd like to support this uh pat king this friday and where is that happening
00:23:10.520
i apologize i'm not from the area i'm from colonna so you'd have to refer to
00:23:17.480
or somebody with more knowledge of the city okay well thank you and we i'll get i will find out where
00:23:24.120
that's happening here i just i'm just going to get some other shots here this is chris barber in
00:23:29.560
the background good morning and of course uh this trial today has been all about chris so far
00:23:36.920
i kind of feel good it's a good day it's nice to be on the defense right well i think you're
00:23:42.440
ably defended you've got a great lawyer there today and uh from what i from what i saw today it
00:23:49.080
doesn't look like you were encouraging anybody to gridlock the city so that was coming up oh wait
00:23:56.440
for it the truth will always come out i don't know if your timeline is such that
00:24:02.600
and there's and there's tamara now we'll be back
00:24:11.560
so that was a moment there with chris barber and tamara leach and
00:24:15.320
and somebody who's really doing what they can to fight for freedom and i think that is
00:24:22.920
absolutely outstanding and thank you for your thank you for doing that and it was it's been a
00:24:28.840
really resounding day i just want to read some of your comments here and uh see we're getting a lot
00:24:34.680
from there uh gene baker this should have never happened to tamara or chris they did nothing wrong
00:24:52.920
this is uh the power of three and me if a federal judge ruled already emergency act illegal
