I dont know this website. Article written March 10th well after the fact and just hosts a very clearly one sided view of this. Jody thomas? I dont know wtf this is about.
Let me explain in much better detail about what you're trying to get at.
There was a website named 'canada unity' who put together a MOU in which called on the governor general to inform Trudeau that he has to return our charter rights. In a way you can read it as saying the governor general is overthrowing the government by effectively dissolving Trudeau's government.
This poorly put together was run by JAMES BAUDER and his wife. They were never even for a second one of the protest leaders.
Yet the canadian media portrayed this website as THE protest leaders. Used this MOU as justification of calling on the governor general to overthrow the government's sovereignty. This is how they are claiming the protest was overthrowing the government.
So for example: https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/who-is-who-a-guide-to-the-major-players-in-the-trucker-convoy-protest-1.5776441 https://www.ctvnews.ca/canada/who-is-who-a-guide-to-the-majo...
Notice how James Bauder is literally the top of the list.
But wait lets look at this closer.

James Bauder was nobody.
Tamara Lich was the key organizer. Involvement in several previous protests. She represented the protest in negotiations with the mayor of ottawa. She represented the protest in court over the honking situation.
Chris Barber had Jordan Peterson's audience.
Pat King is an actor on the otherhand. His acting played the canadian media's bias against themselves so badly.
What exactly was the crime the protest was committing. Parking violations really.
The only problem that anyone can explain about this peaceful protest is ParKing violations.
Yet here we are, everyone is a nazis, confederates, racists. Pat King offered the canadian media every prejudice, every biased hate thing he could think of. He got into the limelight because they ate up everything he said. He gave them everything they ever wanted on a golden platter.
For multiple elections conservatives have run on the plan to defund these lying canadian media. They got played big time.
Flipside, we're now a month later and pat king is still in jail. Original charge was just 'counseling mischief' but the new charges are 'counseling a felony that wasnt committed."
Absurd vague fake charges to crush a peaceful protest.
- philistine 5y agoWe were not discussing whether the protest was peaceful or not; we are discussing whether or not self-evident leaders of the movement wanted a coup. You can personnally cry and cry that they were not leaders of the movement, but never has Tamara Lich publically denounced James Bauder, or denied her desire to overthrow the government. She never went on record denouncing his involvement in any leadership position. Letting someone in a protest you supposedely organize run around and demand the overthrow of the government is a thing that happens all the time; it's common. Whenever that person has the limelight on them, you vigorously denounce them and deny any sort of leadership on their part. Failure to do so means you agree. Ultimately, this whole convoy was dangerously inept. That's a thing. You can be so clueless, so reckless that you're a danger to others.
- incomingpain 5y ago>We were not discussing whether the protest was peaceful or not; Excellent, you cede that they were peaceful and therefore their charter rights were violated. >we are discussing whether or not self-evident leaders of the movement wanted a coup. They didn't. The Media doesnt get to pick who the leaders are neither. >You can personnally cry and cry that they were not leaders of the movement, but never has Tamara Lich publically denounced James Bauder, or denied her desire to overthrow the government. I provided CBC who clearly never listed James Bauder as a protest leader. Never did Tamara Lich ever call for overthrow of the government. You want to think the media gets to choose some random protester, say he is leader and then use them? > She never went on record denouncing his involvement in any leadership position. She doesnt need to. That's a ridiculous requirement. >Letting someone in a protest you supposedely organize run around and demand the overthrow of the government is a thing that happens all the time; it's common. Perfect! In future... the media gets to pick who the leader of all protests are. Not the protest itself. Did you meet John Smith the ecoterrorist who wishes to destroy Canada? Every future protest = illegal now. >Whenever that person has the limelight on them, you vigorously denounce them and deny any sort of leadership on their part. Failure to do so means you agree. Great, going forward all left-wing protests will have John Smith the ecoterrorist speaking for them. >Ultimately, this whole convoy was dangerously inept. That's a thing. You can be so clueless, so reckless that you're a danger to others. How dare they so recklessly exercise their right to protest!
