It's astounding to me that both these court cases have dragged on for so long for no apparent good reasons. Justice delayed, justice denied.

Welcome to Canada, where the process is the punishment. Fair is out of fashion it seems.

Roxanne - I have already written to the National Post, twice, asking the very same question, and cited my own articles in Newsweek, asking another question, Why is it we have to get an American magazine to cover this story?

Crickets.

There’s a code of silence about this trial.

So very true. Even the independent media are failing us in this story. True North has given it very little coverage and Rebel News seems to have a bee in their bonnet about the guys because they fired the lawyers Rebel hired for them. Well I would have fired them too for failing to get me bail. Ezra Levant in one report even seemed to imply they might be guilty. Only Mocha Bezirgan is covering it. Jason Laveigne was doing a lot on it, but things seem to have fallen apart as I think he had a falling out with Granny McKay and Jacelyn Martin over having Jeremy McKenzie on his podcast. And now with the publication ban, there is very little to cover. Such a sad state. Although Chris Carbert's bail hearing is this week I believe. I doubt I will get a response of this Post reporter either.

The beef with Lavigne is about far more important shit going on than Mr Mackenzie, though that guy hasn’t helped either.

I’m going to write more on this before Christmas, Insallah.

I totally forgot about those dudes. Hard to break through and get noticed on today’s crazy news cycles .

It is not about the news cycle. When these guys were first charged the media were all over it because it fit the narrative of those nasty truckers. Not covering this injustice is just another way the media carries water for Trudeau.
