Donna LaFramboise<\/a> on the “Coutts Four” — bona fide<\/em> political prisoners of the Canadian state:<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Gord Magill has a lengthy article over at Newsweek<\/em> titled Meet the Four Men Being Held as Political Prisoners in Canada<\/a>. These individuals are jointly accused of conspiring to murder police officers during a protest in Coutts, Alberta around the same time that the Freedom Convoy truckers were in Ottawa.<\/p>\n

That’s a very serious charge, of course, but evidence appears scarce. I’ve not personally investigated this matter, but a former Toronto police detective named Donald Best has. In July, he outlined a long list of concerns<\/a>, in addition to pointing out that “Everybody makes bail in Canada” — including the man “currently accused of the first degree murder of Toronto Police officer Jeffrey Northrup”.<\/p>\n

Yet the Coutts men — three of whom have no criminal record — have been held without bail for nearly 600 days. Since they are legally innocent until proven guilty, this is horrifying.<\/p>\n

As Gord writes in Newsweek<\/em>, we are a country in which hard-working Canadians are called Nazis by the same Prime Minister whose government recently recognized an actual Nazi with a standing ovation in the House of Commons. What a strange state of affairs. <\/p>\n

After speaking to each of the Coutts four, Gord provides a wealth of new info about them. These are working class guys — a power lineman, the owner of a small construction company, a master electrician, and a contractor. Three of them have children as young as 9, 10, and 11. Gord says only two of them “knew each other prior to their arrest”. It’s difficult to imagine a more unlikely group of cop-murder conspiracists. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
