Chris Barber’s lawyers showed social media videos of the “Freedom Convoy” organizer promoting peace and respect for police during the eighth day of a criminal trial for two leaders of the protest that blockaded large swaths of downtown Ottawa during the winter of 2022.

Chris Barber, right, arrives at the Ottawa Courthouse ahead of one of his trial dates on Sept. 13, 2023.

Barber is co-accused alongside Tamara Lich. The two are facing charges that include mischief, counselling others to commit mischief, intimidation and obstructing police for their role in the weeks-long protest. Barber faces an extra charge of counselling others to disobey a court order. Convoy organizer Chris Barber speaks about being arrested as he appears as a witness at the Public Order Emergency Commission, Tuesday, Nov. 1, 2022 in Ottawa.

Justice Heather Perkins-McVey is expected to rule on that, and whether residents and businesses impacted by the convoy can testify, later in the trial.
