Are North Americans getting comfortable with tyranny?
By Eric Utter
Tamara Lich, a 47-year-old mother from Alberta, was arrested and charged recently for “counseling to commit mischief” after raising more than $10 million through a GoFundMe campaign in support of the Canadian Freedom Convoy protesters.
Then, incredibly, Ontario Court Justice Julie Bourgeois denied Lich bail, claiming that she was not convinced that Lich would go home quietly and discontinue her counseling activity if she were released on bond. According to the Ottawa Citizen, Judge Bourgeois told Lich: "I cannot be reassured that if I release you into the community that you will not re-offend. Your detention is necessary for the protection and safety of the public."
Even violent offenders are often offered bail—but Judge Julie refused to grant it to someone who legally raised money for those engaging in a peaceful protest to win back freedoms that a tyrannical government took from them?! Because she couldn’t be certain that Lich wouldn’t “re-offend” if she was released back into the community?
