    Those residents of Ottawa were the victims of the tantrumist attack. They should absolutely be allowed to testify.

    If you don’t want to be tried in Ottawa don’t commit crimes in Ottawa. If you do commit crimes in Ottawa your victims should be allowed to testify against you.

    Isn’t blocking Ottawa residents what they are on trial for in the first place?

    Isn’t preventing people from performing civic duties the opposite of freedom.

      When I read this, I thought, “Is Lawrence Greenspoon the Canadian version of Alan Greenspan?”

    I see the lawyer’s point. What relevant testimony will they be able to give in regards to Chris Barber and Tamara Lich? This is not POEC or The other sob story commission that was held in Ottawa for Zexi Li and others to promote their civil case.

      Why would you repeat the same exact joke someone else made? There were 6 comments total, you couldn’t be bothered to read any of them ?

          They’re not wrong. Your original comment added nothing new to the discussion. It’s like you’re back on Reddit, and everyone is making the same jokes repeatedly on every post.
