Note : for those new to this Substack and whom are unfamiliar with these cases, a list of links to previous articles + podcasts will be provided at the bottom.
For those of my readers who are here for commentary on the trucking industry – I didn’t intend for this Substack to become a blog reporting on the vindictive war against the working class perpetrated by the worst rulers in the history of humanity, but here we are. I’ll get back to trucking eventually.
Earlier this week, a jury in Lethbridge, Alberta, found Marco Van Huigenbos, George Janzen, and Alex Van Herk, guilty of ‘Mischief’. If you went online and witnessed the near universal conflation of their case with that of Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick, still held in ‘remand’ as the two remaining of the Coutts Four, one might come away feeling that the parties guilty of mischief are the government and the media, whose campaigns of disinformation, omission, and silence, have lead to the rampant confusion.
The prosecution of Mr Van Huigenbos, Mr Van Herk, and Mr Janzen, is illustrative of the very deep shit that Canada finds itself in today, as the case against them, much like the cases of so many others across the country, is purely and 100% political, at both the federal and provincial levels. While Hamas Enthusiasts continue to employ violent rhetoric at demonstrations on Parliament Hill and across the country, and criminals walk free due to the the catastrophic mismanagement of our ‘justice system’, the government somehow has the resources to prosecute the the longest mischief trial in Canadian History and while doing so are diverting homicide detectives from solving drive-by shootings in Ottawa. The priorities of the ‘justice’ system are on full display, and that priority is not the safety and security of your communities – especially when principled men like Tony and Chris sit rotting in remand for over two years, while violent thugs who pulled off one of Canada’s most brazen robberies are walking free on bail.
