\u0027We were so unorganized. For the most part we used whatever we could... whatever tools we could find,\u0027 trucker Chris Barber testified

He said the group, led by Quebec-based “Farfadaa” and who were set up at the corners of Rideau Street and Sussex Drive, was also a thorn in organizers’ side. He also said he had witnessed “no” incidents of threats, violence, harassment or intimidation by any convoy participants and argued that any negative representation of the convoy was from the “shit” produced by the media.
Even before they arrived in Ottawa, several convoy organizers wanted King to avoid the protest. The timeline includes an exchange between organizer Tamara Lich and King that they had in Sudbury before the convoy reached Ottawa, in which Lich asks King not to go to the capital. The convoy’s document also includes several security updates that Daniel Bulford, a convoy organizer and former RCMP officer, provided to police. The document says that on Feb. 6, Bulford told police about a possible bomb threat, relaying that someone had been hired to place a bomb near a school, the Children’s Hospital of Eastern Ontario or a 417 overpass.
Belton said once the mandate came in she tried to find Canadian only routes to drive the truck she owned with her husband. She also said she emailed elected officials 32 times trying to bring about change and getting a response from the government. Barber, who owns and operates a small trucking company out of Saskatchewan, said he was able to mobilize people angry at COVID-19 public health measures and mandates through popular social media pages, namely TikTok.
