Pat King, a prominent leader of the 2022 convoy protests that gridlocked Ottawa, has lost his appeal against his conviction. The Ontario Court of Appeal agreed with prosecutors that King’s initial sentence was insufficient, paving the way for a new sentencing hearing. The Crown argued the original punishment didn’t adequately reflect the severity of his actions during the demonstrations. King was initially convicted on several charges, including mischief, for his role in disrupting traffic and causing widespread disruption. The appeal court’s decision means King will face a resentencing, potentially leading to a harsher penalty. This ruling underscores the court’s stance on accountability for those involved in the prolonged and disruptive protests.
