Emergencies Act inquiry: ‘Parking all over city was never part of why we came,’ says convoy organizer

During the Emergencies Act inquiry on Tuesday, one of the convoy organizers, Chris Barber, testified that it was never the intention of the convoy to park their trucks on city streets. “Ninety per cent of the trucks were stuck out on Sir John A. MacDonald I believe. Pretty much abandoned. Nobody knew where to go. Nobody had direction. If it were staging areas we were allowed to take — Major Hills Parks and Confederate Park— we would have been off the main streets. Occupying or parking all over the city was never part of why we came,” Barber said.
