Canadian trucker acquitted of all charges

But why did the Canadian government charge him with any crimes? A legal 'victory' that still makes some of us want to scream.

A co-owner of a Canadian trucking company who organized a food drive for participants of the Freedom Convoy protest 40 months ago was acquitted of all changes brought by prosecutors, a verdict that’s being heralded as a major victory for those who believe in peaceful protests.

However, after researching details of this trucker’s legal case, my reaction is disbelief the State and local city council (where he previously served) targeted this man with criminal charges and imposed civil fines.

Another take-away is that prosecutors are still bringing criminal charges against truckers who participated in the Freedom Convoy, although all this business owner did was bring food and supplies to the protestors.
