MODERATORS
 

To her fans, Lich is a proud Canadian, a lioness of the movement behind the "Freedom Convoy" protests and the target of a justice system that won't abide her anti-government beliefs. For the combined 49 days she spent in jail, first after her initial arrest during the 2022 demonstrations and again following an alleged bail breach last summer, she was in their eyes a "political prisoner." It's a title she, too, has embraced.

To the Crown, Lich is a nefarious actor who deliberately helped lead blockades that tormented residents, defied police orders, shuttered businesses and pushed the country to a state of national emergency.

Why is CTV giving her any attention?

[โ€“] sparklepower@beehaw.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

to be fair, i'd rather read it direct from CTV than go do my own research on this topic. i do not want to watch her videos, and would hate to find them in the wild as "Canadian women in history" content.

Or we could just not talk about her. Publicity is publicity, good or bad. Sheโ€™s a fringe nobody, letโ€™s start treating her as such.

sure, i can get down with that. but before i read this article, i didn't know who she was. now that i have read the article, i can decide for myself whether or not she's worth my time or attention.
