Saskatchewan-based weapons and assault charges against the leader of the controversial Diagolon movement have been stayed.
In a statement provided to CBC News, Saskatchewan's Ministry of Justice said a prosecution can only proceed when there is a reasonable likelihood of conviction or when it is in the public interest to use the criminal justice system to address the matter.Crown attorneys believed the situation in this case changed to the extent it was no longer appropriate to prosecute the charges, the statement said.
The report also notes a connection between Diagolon and extremists who were arrested at the Coutts, Alta., border crossing during convoy protests in February 2022. Mackenzie is also facing four other charges in Nova Scotia, including mischief, criminal harassment and intimidation of a health professional.
