    The people facing a $300 million class-action lawsuit for organizing the 2022 convoy protests in Ottawa are attempting to have the case quashed altogether, or moved out of Canada’s capital.

    Lawyers representing convoy organizers Tamara Lich, Chris Barber and 10 other parties are preparing to argue the lawsuit should be dismissed because the legal action against them unduly limits their freedom of expression in a matter of public interest.

    Well this is obviously just an attempt to delay the case. Obviously Section 1 will override freedom of expression rights in this case. The odds of this motion going through are incredibly minimal.
