‘Freedom Convoy’ came together organically, organizer testifies | National Newswatch
OTTAWA —"Freedom Convoy" organizer Chris Barber's arrival in Ottawa in January wasn't what he expected, he told a public inquiry Tuesday.
"I don't know how things went so wrong when we first arrived," Barber told the commission investigating the federal government's use of the Emergencies Act in an effort to end the protests."Occupying or parking all over the city was never part of why we came," he said. Barber, who runs his own trucking company in Swift Current, Sask., was greeted with a smattering of applause from spectators when he entered the public hearing room.
