A retired veteran has filed an appeal after he was convicted of mischief and obstruction while attempting to stand guard at the National War Memorial during the 2022 Freedom Convoy protest.
The Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms (JCCF) said it filed the appeal in the Ontario Court of Appeal on behalf of Jeff Evely, who joined the Freedom Convoy, a protest of COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccine mandates in early 2022.
