Lich is the Métis organizer of the original GoFundMe crowdfunding campaign for the trucker convoy that travelled to Ottawa to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers. After astonishing support, both financially through fundraising and physically through the support of those who turned out along overpasses to wave Canadian flags, the movement spiralled into a more broad protest against COVID restrictions and vaccine mandates.
Recently, Lich had been in negotiations with Ottawa Mayor Jim Wattson.
There’s no more news on her arrest at the moment, but Lich released a video last night suggesting that she fully expected to get arrested soon:
