Convoy organizer fights for truck, Carney & Ford bromance, Toronto ISIS arrest | Rebel Roundtable

Today, we're looking at Freedom Convoy organizer Chris Barber's fight for his livelihood, his iconic Big Red truck, as the government attempts to seize the source of his income as part of the still ongoing trial stemming from the 2022 vaccine mandate and lockdown protest.

Plus, Prime Minister Mark Carney and Ontario Premier Doug Ford had a joint press conference, with the province leader praising the federal leader for the job he's done since winning April's election.

And finally, a man in Toronto was arrested on allegations he was plotting an ISIS inspired terrorist attack, just days after police claimed there was no threat against the city's Jewish community following a horrific antisemitic attack in Australia.

Tamara Lich, the leader of the trucker convoy, was sentenced to a year under house arrest.

She's only allowed to leave her home for medical appointments and church, and a few hours a week to buy groceries. She's not allowed to go out for dinner or visit friends or even go for a walk. It's atrocious.

But there is another exception: she can leave her home for work.

That got me thinking. Tamara has worked with Rebel News before — speaking at our events across Canada, coming on our TV shows, and even going on a multi-city book tour to promote her best-selling autobiography.

So, with the guidance of Tamara's lawyer, I offered her a formal job. And I sent the job offer to her probation officer, and phoned the probation officer and walked her through it, line by line — including the parts about Tamara travelling. And to my relief, she approved it!

So just a few days ago, Tamara took her first trip to our Rebel News office as our newest employee! Here, watch a video we made about her visit —...
