## Resource

Pat King, a key figure from the 2022 Ottawa trucker convoy, is facing a major legal reversal: his acquittal on an intimidation charge has been overturned by the Ontario Court of Appeal. The court ruled that the original trial judge erred by requiring proof of violence or threats — elements the court now says are unnecessary for intimidation. King, already convicted on multiple charges including mischief and counselling obstruction, will now be re-sentenced for this new conviction. The appeal judges emphasized his actions went beyond protest, describing them as a coordinated effort to gridlock the city and coerce change through criminal disruption. King, who may lack the funds to appeal further to the Supreme Court, could soon face harsher consequences as a new sentencing date looms.
