This consisted of a number of video screen captures shown in court, some of which the officer said featured Friesen and another woman involved, Tamara Lavoie.

BisonPartySK Attention seeking 🤡. His fine should equal the cost of flying him to Ontario, along with associated healthcare costs plus interest, to safe his life after catching Covid from doing exactly what he shouldn’t have been doing

BisonPartySK Good..i look forward to seeing him pay his fines

OMG!! What do you ppl want? To hang this guy. Charges should be dropped. It is our right to protest. If you don't like it, move to Liberal land. Freedom is wanted here, this is a bull crap charge.

Pretty sure in my bad days in the past, the police used the SGI database to ID me and gather other information without a warrant. Public health and safety orders are what they are. His version of freedom at the expense of the rest of us don’t count.

this guy AGAIN,, maybe he will dress up as Santa Claus for the trial,,
