A prominent figure from Canada's trucker protests against COVID-19 restrictions, Pat King, was sentenced to three months of house arrest on Wednesday.
The February 2022 protests, dubbed the Freedom Convoy, were sparked by a Canadian government vaccine mandate for truck drivers crossing the U.S.-Canada border.
Hundreds, sometimes thousands, of protesters clogged the streets of the capital, Ottawa, and besieged Parliament Hill for three weeks in early 2022.
