At a day-long hearing Tuesday, Crown prosecutors argued that Lich breached her conditions after being photographed alongside fellow organizer Tom Marazzo at a Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms George Jonas Award ceremony in June.
Lich’s bail conditions prohibit communication with a number of people, including Marazzo, unless in the presence of counsel.
Lich’s lawyers argued that counsel was present at the event.
Members of Canada’s military will soon be soldiering under much less strict dress rules as the Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) introduces updated regulations on personal grooming.
Under the new rules — which were released Tuesday and go into effect in September — CAF will allow military personnel to, among other things, colour their hair and grow it to any length, and to sport face tattoos.
OTTAWA — The Canadian soldier charged with speaking against federal vaccine mandates while wearing his uniform and who recently led a march to Ottawa is now facing a court martial.
Warrant Officer James Topp’s lawyer says the army reservist was recently notified that he will be allowed to have his case heard in a military court instead of by his chain of command.
OTTAWA – The Crown is seeking to revoke bail for Tamara Lich, a leader of the “Freedom Convoy,” after she appeared alongside a fellow organizer in an alleged breach of her conditions.
Lich was charged in February with mischief, obstructing police, counselling others to commit mischief and intimidation for her role in the massive protest against COVID-19 restrictions that gridlocked downtown Ottawa for more than three weeks.
In his acceptance speech after winning a third term in office, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought to downplay the divisions within Canada, saying “that’s not what I see.”
A poll from Maru Public Opinion says he is wrong. A Nanos Research Group poll finds that just 17% of respondents believe Canada should accept more immigrants to our country. Trudeau responded by establishing the highest immigration quotas in history. The Liberal government target stands at 451,000 migrants for 2024.
In the meantime, 77% of survey respondents said Canada feels more fractured than ever. 52% said Canada’s democratic system is broken and “needs a major overhaul.”
Health Minister Jean-Yves Duclos says Canadians should get a COVID booster shot every nine months so that their vaccination status stays “up-to-date.”
“What exactly do we mean by up-to-date vaccination? Let me be very clear: Up-to-date means you’ve received your last dose in the past nine months,” said Duclos in a press conference on June 30.
“If you’ve already received a first booster, that’s great, and please see if you’re eligible for a second or a third booster to remain up-to-date.”
Canada’s commandos are getting a new pistol but the exact type is now considered a state secret.
Except to anyone, that is, who has access to the internet and can read details about the Canadian special forces’ $680,425 purchase of the SIG Sauer P320 handgun.
The federal government has signed a $20-billion final settlement agreement to compensate First Nations children and families harmed by chronic underfunding of child welfare on reserve, which Indigenous Services Canada said Monday was the largest such deal in Canadian history.
The Trudeau government has approved a plan requested by Quebec to ship asylum claimants who illegally cross into Canada via Roxham Road into Ontario cities such as Niagara Falls and Ottawa.
Quebec authorities have pleaded with Ottawa in recent months to alleviate the stress the influx of migrants has caused for the province.
COVID-19 cases are on the rise again in Canada, and the blame lies with the two rapidly spreading Omicron sub-variants, also known as BA.4 and BA.5 variants.
First detected in South Africa in April this year, its ability to spread more rapidly than other circulating variants, primarily BA.2, has led scientists to predict its prevalence as the dominant variant in the coming months.
Canadian researchers examining the threat from emerging strains of COVID-19 predicted that Omicron BA.5 would account for nearly 70 percent of cases by Canada Day. the latest data from the Public Health Agency of Canadadating back to June 12, shows that BA.5 accounted for 20.4 percent of COVID-19 cases.
Canadian supporters of Israel and the Palestinians clashed in the Thornhill suburb of Toronto on Friday in front of a shopping plaza with mainly Kosher stores.
According to Melissa Lantsman, a member of Parliament representing Thornhill, pro-Palestinian protesters had gathered at the plaza and harassed Jewish shoppers. Video shared by the MP showed protesters waving Israeli flags and chanting slogans in front of the shops.

“Shabbat Shalom bitches.” Well that’s a new one.
As I remarked in my earlier post Islamist hate is no longer imported it’s now homegrown.
These charming “anti-zionists” are likely 2nd perhaps even 3rd generation Mohammedans.
They aren’t indoctrinated in secret or by accident.
They did not pick it up in a schoolyard, in an alley or haphazardly on the internet.
Wearing masks obviously didn’t shield them from Islam’s inherent anti-Semitism.
They swim in it. It’s the air they breathe.
Family, community, Mosque. Our so called institutions of higher learning.
This will not end well.
Europe is the petri-dish we need to be watching.
In general it isn’t 1st generation Muslim immigrants who become terrorists. It is the 2nd and 3rd generations.
Europe’s experience is our future and a warning that will likely go unheeded.
Thank your government.
Diversity über alles.
We must all be grateful that another Canada Day has passed, and Ottawa is still standing.
