Former MP  condemns Coutts  protesters' charge: Is the Charter  still relevant? Today I am in  court in Lethbridge, Alberta, covering the sentencing hearing for the Coutts  trio, Alex Van Herk, Marco Van  Huginboss and George Thompson. These three men, farmers,  fathers and passionate Canadians, face up to 10 years in  prison. In an exclusive interview with @MediaBezirgan, former MP and police officer Art Hanger criticized the  indictment and questioned whether the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, as well as the Bill of Rights, still  have any  relevance.
He noted: "I wonder if these pieces of paper or these documents are  important, you know, because  we're talking about the state  putting restrictions on  rights – God-given  rights – that the Charter is supposed to  protect and the state  has overstepped them."
The hearing is ongoing and is expected to conclude tomorrow with possible  prison sentences for the three  people. Follow and support @MediaBezirgan for more  journalism on the ground.
