This week’s Freedom Defender—picked by Josh—is Ryan O’Connor, Partner with Zayouna Law Firm. Here’s Josh’s summary:I picked Ryan because Ryan has fought against so many insane COVID-19 restrictions in cases that don’t always get a lot of media attention but that mean a lot to the people involved. Ryan shamed the Ontario government into allowing gyms to open for people with disabilities during the January 2022 lockdown, which was discriminatory at a time when Leafs, Sens and Raptors were allowed to go to gyms. Just this past week, Ryan successfully secured the withdrawal of charges against people facing $6,000 fines for showing up at the border without valid PCR test results during the pandemic. Way to go, Ryan!
