'Freedom Convoy' organizer faces sentencing

Pat King, one of the organizers of the 2022 convoy protest in Ottawa, is set to be sentenced in an Ottawa courtroom today.

Superior Court Justice Charles Hackland found King guilty on five counts in November, including mischief and disobeying a court order. King was found not guilty on three counts of intimidation and one count of obstructing police.

The Crown is seeking a sentence of 10 years for King — the maximum penalty His defence is asking for time served and probation, since King spent about five months in jail after his initial arrest in February 2022 before being granted bail.
