David Lindsay is guilty of assaulting an Interior Health security guard at an anti-COVID mandate protest

A prolific protester named David Lindsay who has previously been labelled a "vexatious litigant" in the Supreme Court of Canada, returned to a Kelowna Provincial Courtroom to make his final submissions before sentencing after being found guilty of two counts of assault.

Throughout the trial, Lindsay maintained that he was"unlawfully" banned from entering the building and stated it was a violation of his Charter of Rights and Freedoms. In addition to the conviction of assault, Lindsay is also facing a charge of contempt of court. Contempt refers to acts of disobedience and disrespect toward a court of law.

He made specific reference to instances that transpired in court after the letters of apology were issued where he alleges Lindsay disobeyed court orders.
