PEOPLE USING FREEDOM CONVOY FOR THEIR OWN GAINS

 OTTAWA – Many groups and individuals fought for control over the Freedom Convoy seeking its power, influence and the millions of dollars it fundraised online, said a lawyer for convoy organizers testifying at the Emergencies Act commission.

Keith Wilson, an Edmonton lawyer, came to represent many convoy organizers through the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms. He said he was asked to go to Ottawa shortly after the convoy arrived in the city and took a private plane, picking up other lawyers in different cities. Wilson said he was told the private plane was necessary because several of his fellow passengers were unvaccinated.

He said when he arrived he found several different groups who all wanted to claim credit for the convoy. He said some organizers saw the need for clearer goals and better coordination, but others were in it for their own reasons.
