OTTAWA — The Ontario Court of Appeal has ruled that “Freedom Convoy” organizer Pat King is guilty of intimidation and has ordered a new sentencing hearing.
King was charged with a number of offences for his leading role in the February 2022 demonstration that gridlocked much of downtown Ottawa for more than three weeks.
He was convicted of five counts, including mischief, counselling mischief and disobeying a court order, and given a 12-month conditional sentence.
At the same trial, King was acquitted on three counts of intimidation.
