Durham Police Constable Erin Howard Twitter

WHITBY, Ontario (LifeSiteNews) — A Durham Regional Police Service (DRPS) officer who in January posted a video online voicing her support for the trucker Freedom Convoy in her full uniform is now facing charges.

According to a police spokesperson, Constable Erin Howard is looking at charges under Ontario’s Police Services Act and is due for her first court appearance on May 5.

On January 24, Howard posted a video on her Twitter account, giving her support to the truckers who at the time were on route to Ottawa to demand the end of all COVID mandates.

“I really wanted to give a shout-out to all the truckers. I think what you guys are doing is incredible, you’re fighting for our rights and freedoms,” said Howard in the video, which has now been deleted. “And right now, it feels like we’re a little bit at war and those rights and freedoms are at stake. So, you guys are honestly true heroes. What you’re doing is just incredible.”

Shortly after Howard posted her video, which went viral, the DRPS announced it would be investigating Howard, despite the force not having a mandatory jab policy in effect at the time.

Howard noted in her video that she would be in Ottawa herself to see the freedom convoy and speak on behalf of the group Police on Guard.

“I can’t wait to meet you guys. Hope to talk to a lot of you in person. Anyway, just wanted to give you guys a shout-out and some support and keep rolling and we’ll see you in Ottawa,” said Howard.

It is not yet confirmed whether Howard spoke at the Freedom Convoy on behalf of Police on Guard.

The Freedom Convoy saw Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau enact the Emergencies Act (EA) against the truckers on February 14, which subsequently cleared them out. The EA was revoked on February 23.

Trudeau’s use of the EA gave the federal government unparalleled powers, such as the ability to freeze bank accounts, even without a court order. Many accounts were frozen.

Many claims regarding the Freedom Convoy by the mainstream media and the Trudeau Liberals have proven to be false.

Reports that protesters had started a fire were proven to be incorrect, and just recently, a top official with Canada’s Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) said there is no evidence of any links to terrorist activity in the funding of the Freedom Convoy.
