It didn’t come as a surprise to Marco Van Huigenbos, but it wasn’t the outcome he had hoped for.

Van Huigenbos, Alex Van Herk, and Gerhard Jazen were all convicted of mischief over $5,000 for their involvement in the Coutts border blockade.

“There was some hope that I would have received a more favourable verdict, but my expectations were that I wasn’t (going to),” Van Huigenbos told Global News outside the Lethbridge Courthouse.

The blockade shut down cross border traffic between Canada and the U.S. for two weeks in 2022, in protest of COVID-19 rules and restrictions.

Sarah Jones has more on the verdict and what happens next.
