She brought up numerous examples of mischief cases from the G20 where disguised offenders with bad intentions rioted and caused millions in damages causing people to fear for their lives but not a single one of them got a penitentiary (24+ month) sentence. The judge conceded that we don't have evidence of that here. Magas responded that some of the victim impact statements in this case suggest something similar happened but feeling like you have to stay in your house a few days is not the same as people fearing" @rightblend on X 2025-07-23 17:32:26 UTC 37.3K followers, 91.9K engagements

The Convoy protest's main fundraiser on GoFundMe raised $XXXXX million CAD and the follow up fundraiser on GiveSendGo after the GoFundMe was seized raised $9776559.50 million USD.
