The CBC reports:
Two men have been sentenced to 6½ years in prison for their roles in the blockade of the Canada-U.S. border crossing at Coutts, Alta. Anthony Olienick showed no emotion while Chris Carbert appeared glum and folded his arms, as the sentence was read out in Court of King’s Bench on Monday.
Neither are to serve their full sentences, as Justice David Labrenz gave them credit for time they have already spent in custody. The blockade halted traffic at the border crossing for two weeks in 2022 in a protest of COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates.
The men were charged after RCMP found guns, ammunition and body armour in trailers near the blockade. A jury found them not guilty of the most serious charge they faced — conspiracy to murder police officers at the blockade.

MORE TO COME.
