| During a recent event in Lethbridge, Alberta, commemorating the first anniversary of the Coutts Blockade, a local named Joanne Person took to the microphone to share a shocking allegation.
That blockade took place alongside the Freedom Convoy to Ottawa, bringing cross-border traffic in the region to a standstill and catalyzing a series of events leading to the end of COVID mandates in the province and the resignation of former premier Jason Kenney.
The demonstration came to an abrupt end when police announced that multiple weapons were seized and arrests were made on conspiracy charges nearby. Demonstrators stood firmly that this was a peaceful movement, and ended the Coutts demonstrations entirely so that the world would know they were non-violent.
Joanne was one of the people arrested and charged with possession of a weapon for dangerous purpose and mischief over $5,000.
But Joanne claims she has proof of police impropriety and evidence that they placed weapons in her home.
Could it be true?

To be clear: Rebel News is not suggesting that the RCMP planted evidence at the home of Joanne Person. We haven’t seen or heard any of Joanne’s evidence yet. We’re reporting these allegations because she has made a newsworthy claim.
Although it’s hard to believe, this wouldn’t be the first time the RCMP have been embroiled in a scandal relating to their enforcement tactics in Coutts.
Around this time last year, I reported on an operation conducted by RCMP officers to sabotage heavy equipment on private land near the blockade. Officials confirmed the machines were damaged to prevent their use at the border.
We will continue to stay on the story as it develops — I’ll have more to report on it once more information becomes available, and the alleged audio recordings are released.
In the meantime, we’re crowdfunding the legal fees for three peaceful protesters facing potential prison time for their involvement in the Coutts blockade. To find out more about their charges and how you can help, visit www.TruckerDefenceFund.com.
Yours truly,

P.S. The RCMP has laid charges on Marco Van Huigenbos, Alex Van Herk, and George Janzen, which includes up to 10 years in prison for allegedly being “key participants” in the blockade. Rebel News has hired three legal eagles to represent the men in court, but this battle will likely cost hundreds of thousands of dollars — please help crowdfund their legal defence at www.TruckerDefenceFund.com. |
