Pat King, a key figure in the 2022 convoy protests, will be re-sentenced after the Ontario Court of Appeal sided with Crown prosecutors who argued his original punishment was too lenient. The Crown appealed after a trial judge convicted King on five criminal charges but acquitted him of intimidation and obstructing police. In a decision released Friday, the Court of Appeal overturned the acquittal on intimidation, entered a conviction on that charge, and ordered a new sentencing hearing later this year at the Ontario Superior Court. King was originally sentenced in February 2025 to a three-month conditional sentence under house arrest, followed by probation. The appeal court said King's new sentence should reflect the full public impact of his actions. King has continued to use social media to speak about his case and raise money for legal bills.
