The lawyer representing downtown Ottawa plaintiffs in a $300 million lawsuit against the Freedom Convoy expressed outrage Sunday over anti-Israel protesters being fined for violating a noise bylaw.

“This is an affront to our deepest and most important democratic values: the rights to freedom of expression and freedom of asswmbly [sic]. A ticket for using a megaphone for a couple of hours on a public street to protest against a horrific war? Unacceptable,” Ottawa attorney Paul Champ posted on X.

Quebec lawyer David Freiheit, who broadcasts to large audiences in the U.S. and Canada on YouTube and Rumble as “Viva Frei,” commented on Champ’s apparent double standard in an X post.

“You’re… joking, right? You’ve got to be joking. Are you joking @PaulChampLaw?”
