Preston Manning says if Tamara Lich was a Liberal she would be lionized by the left for her efforts with the truckers Freedom Convoy.."Since the attitude of the Trudeau government toward individual Canadians very much depends on their gender and race, let the record show that Tamara is female and of Metis heritage," Manning, the founder of the Reform Party wrote in a guest column for The Epoch Times.."With these characteristics, and if she was being hounded by a Conservative administration for involvement in a left-wing protest, Tamara would by now have been lionized by the Trudeau Liberals as a freedom martyr, made the subject of a sympathetic full-length documentary by the CBC, granted an honorary degree by some university, and nominated for the Order of Canada.".Lich was charged with mischief after the Freedom Convoy protests in Ottawa. She was finally granted bail weeks later and had that bail revoked last week for allegedly breaking her release conditions.."If an award were to be given annually to the perpetrators of the greatest injustice against a Canadian citizen, the leading candidates for receiving it in 2022 would be those responsible for the relentless persecution of Tamara Lich concerning her involvement with the Freedom Convoy protesting Ottawa’s vaccine mandates," wrote Manning.."The actions of the persecutors in this case may be described by the awkward word 'unconscionable' — meaning barbarous, excessive, outrageous, preposterous, uncivilized, unethical, unfair, and unjust."."With respect to bail hearings and the incarceration of the accused while awaiting them, the treatment of Tamara is to be contrasted with the kid-glove treatment accorded by the federal government to Meng Wanzhou, the Huawei executive accused by the U.S. of numerous offences much more serious than any of the charges against Tamara. Of course, from the perspective of the Trudeau government, to roughly manhandle Meng Wanzhou might have offended the communist government of China, whereas to roughly treat Tamara Lich only offends Canadians."."Justice must ultimately be served in the case of Tamara Lich. And when it is, a great debt of gratitude will be owed to her by all of us for what she has patiently and heroically endured."
