3 men convicted of leading a 2022 Coutts, Alberta border blockade protesting COVID-19 restrictions will be sentenced on January 9-10, 2023.
Three men—Alex Van Herk, Marco Van Huigenbos, and Gerhard Janzen—convicted of mischief over $5,000 for leading a 2022 border blockade in Coutts, Alberta, will be sentenced on January 9-10, 2023. The blockade, protesting COVID-19 restrictions, disrupted cross-border traffic for two weeks. Initially set for September, the sentencing was delayed to allow Van Huigenbos to secure a new lawyer. The maximum penalty for their conviction is 10 years in prison.
