Freedom Convoy leader Tamara Lich thanked Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre for calling out government lawyers who want her jailed for seven years for her role in the 2022 protests against COVID mandates.

“It is with the deepest gratitude that I thank you for acknowledging and bringing awareness to the two tier legal system we are witnessing unfold in Canada,” Lich wrote on X Tuesday.

Lich noted that there is a “fine line between politics and the judiciary, as there should be, and I have long understood the uncomfortable position elected officials find themselves in when it comes to commenting on cases that are before the court.”

“In our case, the double standard and the vindictive nature from the prosecution office has become too obvious to ignore and will set a precedent going forward that will affect all Canadians who choose to peacefully protest or deter them from exercising their Charter Right to peacefully assemble. Thank you Mr. Poilievre,” she wrote.

LifeSiteNews earlier reported that Poilievre came out in support of Lich and Barber, blasting a government plan to jail them for nearly a decade.

As reported by LifeSiteNews, Lich revealed over the weekend that the Canadian federal government is looking to put her in jail for no less than seven years and Chris Barber for eight years.

The sentencing trial for Lich and Barber began Wednesday of this week in a hearing. Earlier this year, they were found guilty of mischief in their roles in the 2022 convoy.

On the first day of the trial, lawyers working on behalf of the Liberal government of Prime Minister Mark Carney inferred that the protest led by Lich and Barber was tantamount to an occupation of the nation’s capital.

In April, Lich and Barber were found guilty of mischief for their roles as leaders of the 2022 protest and as social media influencers. The conviction came after a nearly two-year trial despite the non-violent nature of the popular movement.

The Lich and Barber trial concluded in September 2024, more than a year after it began. It was originally scheduled to last 16 days.

Despite the peaceful nature of the Freedom Convoy, then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his Liberal government invoked the Emergencies Act to clear out protesters, an action a federal judge has since said was “not justified.” During the clear-out, an elderly lady was trampled by a police horse and many who donated to the cause had their bank accounts frozen.

Conservative MP Leslyn Lewis has condemned the Liberal government for accepting the World Health Organization’s (WHO) health regulations.

In a July 21 post on X, Lewis revealed that Canada missed the deadline to reject WHO amendments to the International Health Regulations, thereby accepting the regulations which seek to control countries’ health measures.

“Canada did not reject these binding regulations, which would grant power to the WHO to influence Canada’s public health response during global health crises,” Lewis wrote.

“Not only did Canada fail to reject these amendments, there was also no Parliamentary discussion surrounding these changes, which have potential implications for our national sovereignty and our ability to respond as we see fit in times of crisis,” she continued.

Lewis further pointed out that countries including the United States and Italy have rejected the amendments, which are warned to undermine national sovereignty.

In an interview with LifeSiteNews, Campaign Life Coalition’s Jack Fonseca warned that “Mark Carney’s acceptance of the WHO amendments represents a major step into tyranny and subservience for Canadians. It represents a loss of freedom and autonomy for every Canadian where unelected bureaucrats in far away lands will have control over our lives.

“Many of us have not forgotten how Trudeau used a declared ‘pandemic’ to bring in a Nazi-style system of discrimination using vaccine passports and medical segregation,” he recalled. “We have not forgotten how Canadians who refused to take abortion-tainted Covid injections were subjected to social ostracization and exclusion from economic life.”

“How they were banned from being employed by the government, fired from their private sector jobs, denied entry into restaurants, cinemas, sporting events, swimming pools and other public venues, and banned from travel on planes, trains and ships,” Fonseca continued. “We remember how un-jabbed students were denied enrolment in Canadian universities and de-enrolled even midway through their programs.”

“By embracing the WHO International Health Regulations, the proud globalist, Mark Carney, has ensured that the same medical tyranny can be visited upon us again with the declaration by unelected, power-mad WHO bureaucrats of a new ‘pandemic,’” Fonseca declared.

Lewis has previously warned that the amendments to the International Health Regulations (IHR) will compromise Canada’s autonomy by giving the international organization increased power over Canadians in the event of an “emergency.”

“Canada consented to the amendments to the WHO’s International Health Regulations (IHR), which limits Canada’s time to respond to further amendments, despite thousands of Canadians signing a petition expressing their concerns,” Lewis said at the time, referring to a petition she endorsed demanding that the Liberal government “urgently” withdraw from the United Nations and its WHO subgroup due to these concerns.

The petition warned that the “secretly negotiated” amendments could “impose unacceptable, intrusive universal surveillance, violating the rights and freedoms guaranteed in the Canadian Bill of Rights and the Charter of Rights and Freedoms.”

In her post this week, Lewis also called out the Liberal government for appointing an interim Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Howard Njoo, who is the vice-chair of the WHO Pandemic Influenza Preparedness Framework Advisory Group.

“Canadians deserve a government that cares about protecting our national sovereignty. Unelected international bureaucrats do not know better than Canadians, and should not have authority over how Canada governs,” she declared.

However, the Liberals, under Prime Minister Mark Carney, appear unconcerned with signing away Canada’s sovereignty.

In May, Carney adopted the WHO’s Pandemic Agreement, despite warnings that the agreement gives the globalist entity increased power in the event of another “pandemic.”

Among the most criticized parts of the agreement is the affirmation that “the World Health Organization is the directing and coordinating authority on international health work, including on pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”

While the agreement claims to uphold “the principle of the sovereignty of States in addressing public health matters,” it also calls for a globally unified response in the event of a pandemic, stating plainly that “[t]he Parties shall promote a One Health approach for pandemic prevention, preparedness and response.”
