The sentencing of Convoy leaders Tamara Lich and Chris Barber gets political. 

Poilievre and other Conservative MPs are outraged about the Crown’s requested sentences for Convoy Leaders. 

Looking back, was the convoy a violent uprising or an act of political protest? 

Plus, sunny skies for solar and the battle over Toronto’s hot dog throne.
