Man jailed for role in Coutts, Alta., COVID protest gains bail pending appeal
Anti-COVID-19 vaccine mandate demonstrators leave in a truck convoy after blocking the highway at the busy U.S. border crossing in Coutts, Alta., Tuesday, Feb. 15, 2022. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Jeff McIntosh LETHBRIDGE, Alta. — One of two men jailed last year for their roles in the Coutts, Alta., border protest has been granted bail while he appeals his conviction and sentence. An Alberta appeal court judge says Chris Carbert does not pose a threat to public safety and is unlikely to commit a criminal offence if released from custody. Last fall, a jury found Carbert and Anthony Olienick guilty of mischief over $5,000 and possession of a weapon dangerous to the public peace for their role in the blockade. They were each given prison sentences of 6 1/2 years. Olienick was also convicted of possessing a pipe bomb. The blockade tied up traffic at the Canada-U.S. border crossing for two weeks in early 2022, and was one of several nationwide protests against COVID-19 rules and vaccine mandates. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 30, 2025.
