I will emphasize that I know almost zero about Tamara Lich and her views but I thought that being denied bail seemed like overkill. She appealed the original decision. From the CBC: “On Monday, Superior Court justice John Johnston said Lich ought to be released, but said she “does require some supervision.†The most telling comment in the whole article for me: “He noted Lich’s trial likely won’t be held for several months and her time on remand would exceed that of her sentence should she be convicted, saying “it is not likely Lich would face a lengthy imprisonment.â€
Tamara Lich is now released from jail. The judge feels she won’t face a lengthy imprisonment if convicted. Yet Justin Trudeau brought in the emergency act because “it is now clear that there are serious challenges to law enforcement’s ability to effectively enforce the law.â€
So one of the organizers of the protest is only going to spend a few months in jail if convicted and yet the federal government had to bring the Emergencies Measures act? Really?!
