The trial was tied up over the following days with arguments that are under a publication ban.
Anthony Olienick and Chris Carbert were arrested after RCMP found a cache of guns, body armour and ammunition in trailers.
They are also charged with mischief and possession of a weapon for a dangerous purpose, and Olienick faces a further charge of being in possession of a pipe bomb.
The blockade paralyzed traffic at the busy Canada-United States border crossing for two weeks.
