CANADIAN TRUCKERS: Trial of convoy protest organizers Tamara Lich, Chris Barber begins today | This file will be updated throughout the day Tuesday as the trial of Tamara Lich and Chris Barber kicks off.
Several of the charges hinge on whether Lich and Barber encouraged protesters to defy police orders by remaining in Ottawa after authorities ordered everyone to clear the streets and, if they did, whether that was a criminal act.
The Crown hopes to establish that Barber and Lich worked together in lockstep, so that evidence against one of them will apply to both.
