00:09:20.800What do you think of the 7-8 year sentence the Crown is looking for?
00:09:36.800Of course, the mayor has been instructed by her legal counsel to say nothing to the media, whether it's left-wing corporate media or independent media, as this hearing begins today or began today and continues tomorrow and then again on Friday.
00:09:50.880Oh, by the way, for those of you who are asking, hey, what about Chris Carbert? Didn't you say you were going to have Chris Carbert on tonight? I said that was possible.
00:09:58.620Chris messaged me early this morning and said that he's not feeling up to par. He's feeling under the weather.
00:10:03.020and i said that's cool dude whenever you're ready also please remember this man has been
00:10:08.660through purgatory for the last three and a half years i'm sure he's still suffering through
00:10:13.240some kind of shell shock right now some kind of ptsd and it's quite possible chris is a little
00:10:19.220bit shy as well uh and and might have some reservations about speaking in front of 2 000
00:10:24.580people 2 000 live viewers and then the other 25 or 30 000 that pile on later on to watch replays
00:10:30.680but we will get Chris on. The other thing is, remember his situation right now for release is
00:10:35.620that he's on bail pending his appeal, which begins in the fall. This is not an outright release. So
00:10:40.840there could be some things that Chris couldn't say, a la Chris and Tamara, when they were first
00:10:44.660out. Remember, there was a lot of things they couldn't do. There was a lot of things they
00:10:49.340couldn't say. And so rather than going on and pussyfooting around, walking over landmines,
00:10:54.360they thought, you know, better to just stay away from all that for now, just in case I say the
00:10:59.340wrong thing i mean tamara showed up at an awards banquet a couple of years ago and they went and0.98
00:11:04.580got her they sent ottawa police all the way to her house in medicine had to arrest her
00:11:09.460show trial and they put her on a plane flew her all the way across the country who knows what
00:11:14.720that cost they threw her in jail for 49 days so if chris carbert does not want to come on my show
00:11:21.900based upon that i completely and totally understand all those reasons are absolutely
00:11:27.120valid. However, if he does decide to come on, we'll be absolutely happy and thrilled to have
00:11:33.040him on. All right. So right blend as usual was at the Ottawa courthouse today doing some fantastic
00:11:39.780reporting. Guys, I have to tell you that this X thread is very long. It's like 50 items on this
00:11:48.340thing. We're going to go all the way through it. And he's very detailed about it. Very detailed
00:11:52.540about it so let's i'll try and make it go as quickly as possible but i'll also try and be
00:11:56.780as clear as possible so as you guys get everything here remember right blend was in the courthouse
00:12:03.760today number one of 50 political prosecution right blend says it's the first day of what's
00:12:11.580sure to be a multiple day sentencing hearing for convicted mischief makers and freedom convoy
00:12:16.280trucker protest organizers tamara leach and chris barber follow this thread for my typical detailed
00:12:21.820reporting from inside the courtroom. Let's clear a few major things up right away. First, today will
00:12:27.700not be the sentencing in a case as complicated as this, where the trial spanned over 40 days. The
00:12:33.300sentencing will take some time, and during the sentencing hearing, we'll hear the Crown and the
00:12:39.360defense teams legally, question mark, argue about what punishment Tamara and Chris will get. We'll
00:12:44.100also get to hear any victim impact statements, and as is required by the criminal code, both Tamara
00:12:49.060and Chris will be given an opportunity to speak, but they don't have to. The sentencing decision
00:12:55.900itself won't be until next month at the earliest. Sometimes sentencing happens much faster.
00:13:01.280Probably not this time. Chris Barber is not in Ottawa. Now, the left-wing corporate media
00:13:06.040made the mistake today of publishing a story that said one of Chris's parents had died,
00:13:11.620and that's why he was not in the courtroom in person that is absolutely untrue chris posted
00:13:19.100a video about about that earlier today the lead crown prosecutor's father died not chris's father
00:13:27.680so that's why the lead crown prosecutor was not in the courtroom today chris is not there because
00:13:32.340travel expenses because he's got work to do and he's already spent thousands and thousands and
00:13:39.520thousands of dollars going back and forth to ottawa paying for hotels paying for gasoline
00:13:44.800it's a lot to ask not to mention the legal fees so he asked the court a couple of weeks ago if
00:13:52.400he could attend through zoom and he was allowed to do that so chris is not in ottawa for the
00:13:59.000sentencing he is appearing remotely from his home in saskatchewan his council team is in ottawa led
00:14:04.540by the studious Diane Magus and the wonderful Ms. Younes.
00:14:08.500Both convicted mischief-makers had the option to appear remotely.
00:14:12.160Tamara is in Ottawa in person, looking confident and calm as always.
00:14:17.360The Crown has submitted an incredible amount of material
00:14:19.920in an attempt to somehow justify their extremely off-base
00:20:18.960they encourage her honor to consider an appropriate sentence,
00:20:21.620remain cognizant that Barber and Leach are not being sentenced
00:20:24.160for peaceful legal protest, but criminal offenses.
00:20:27.080One for Leach, two for Barber, a mass mischief that impacted Ottawa.
00:20:31.060And for Barber, additionally counseling, disobeying a court order.
00:20:35.120she says although the convoy was not violent it was not peaceful this is the same protest where
00:20:41.280justice mosley in canadian frontline nurses remarked went beyond legal protest and represented
00:20:46.800an unacceptable breakdown of public order he also said the emergencies act and freezing bank
00:20:52.560accounts was ultra virus illegal ultra virus is a latin term for overreach basically and the crown
00:21:00.600mentions it's being appealed lol the crowd says that even a good intention is not a mitigating
00:21:06.880factor the judge says it is a contextual factor the crowd responds with case law running in circles
00:21:12.960to justify the madness uh right blind says in number nine i believe the crown agreed that chris
00:21:18.460and tamera had noble intentions in regards to the above exchange crown quotes a case where a man who
00:21:23.740was accused of vigilante justice is not justified with noble intentions this has nothing to do with
00:21:30.120The case reference, McLaughlin, goes on to say non-deterrence will result in people taking law into their own hands.
00:21:37.400Crown, again, says Convoy, was not a peaceful protest in the conventional sense.
00:21:42.680She's repeating this over and over for media soundbites.
00:21:45.360And that Leach and Barber had a great part in encouraging the protest to continue and having it come together and their actions were deliberate and sustained.
00:21:55.620What makes the Freedom Convoy different than Coutts or Windsor, as Your Honor asked?
00:22:03.920Bright Glenn says, I didn't ask it quite that way.
00:22:07.000What makes this qualitatively different is the disruption.
00:22:10.160It went on for weeks, and so did Coutts, by the way.
00:22:13.760And the unprecedented government response.
