Arrested in February of 2022, denied bail, and kept in custody for nearly 2 years without trial, Chris Carbert, Jerry Morin, Tony Olienick, and Chris Lysak are Canada's dirtiest secret, Political Prisoners being railroaded by the vindictive regime of Justin Trudeau. Without these men being 'guilty', Trudeau loses the only shred of justification for having brought a modern western nation state to the edge of Marshall Law with his invocation of the Emergencies Act, and it is for this bogus justification that these men are being denied justice.
This campaign seeks to raise as much money as possible so as to obtain far more robust and competent legal representation than they have thus far received, get these men out of jail, and re-unite them with their long suffering families.
*The campaign has been updated as of July 25, 2024 - please see the updates section for new information

Thank you, and God Bless.
This campaign is managed by Gord Magill on behalf of The Coutts Four Men, their families, and advocates.
Gord Magill is a trucker with over 27 years of experience behind the wheel, and has hauled fuel across Canada's Ice Roads, pulled Road Trains in Western Australia, and logs down the slopes of volcanoes in New Zealand. Now living in the United States, Gord traveled home to stand in solidarity with the Freedom Convoy, and has been writing and podcasting about it ever since, and is one of a very small number of people investigating the situation with the Coutts Four.
Having watched Canada descend into Totalitarianism under the regime of Justin Trudeau has been quite the incentive for Gord to stand up for the people being punished by Trudeau, and he will continue to work tirelessly to see the punishments end, and these men reunited with their families.
Love, hugs, prayers
These men are Canadian heroes.
Blessings to everyone helping Chris and Tony, our true Heroes.
Please know you are in our prayers!
Never thought that political persecution would happen in Canada.
Praying for Tony and Chris for their release from prison. God bless you both, keep you safe and give you strength. Also praying for your families ❤️
Back in 2008, I took a motorcycle training course. In that course I received a gift. My instructor shared something very wise. He said that if I ever felt my riding was crazy or out of control - perhaps imminent impact with a pole, or a ride into a ditch - to look where I want to go. He said, "Just look where you want to go." His gift to me is now my gift to you... I hope this lifts your heart.
I pray for God’s Blessing on these men. May He stand with them and support them in all their days. Bless their families with equal strength to bear the privations yet to come.

Hello to all supporters of the Coutts Men and their families.
By now you would have heard the news that Justice Labrenz issued his very disappointing sentencing on Monday, and that Chris and Tony are both facing the possibility of another 2 years behind bars. It is beyond obvious now that Labrenz caved to political pressure from the Crown, and his sentencing was harsh so as to save himself from a Crown appeal, and to give the Trudeau Regime the pound of flesh they desired.
There is more to be said about this in the near future, and I will seek comments from the men to share with you here, and for the world on my substack.
In the meantime, there are going to be arguments between the defense and the Crown about '2/3' time released, and wether the credit for their time served will meet that threshold for release; apparently the Crown is seeking that to be applied to the balance of the sentence, which would see the men remain in custody for at least 2/3 of another 2-1/2 years. In addition to fighting this, the men's lawyers are going to be launching appeals, as anyone who has watched the trial closely knows there are solid grounds for.
This fundraising campaign for the men will remain open until they are free men and their legal troubles are over.
From the bottom of our hearts, we want to thank everyone who has contributed for every one of your hard earned dollars; the men are trully blessed by your generosity.
To stay up to date with appeals, and to hear from their advocates directly, and hopefully from the men themselves in upcoming articles, you can follow these sites and social media accounts -

Greetings All,
With defense completing their case, final statements scheduled for Tuesday, July 30, and the jury set to begin deliberations the following day, we are into the final stretch.
Since the trial began on June 6, Tony Olienick and Chris Carbert have incurred another 100k+ in legal expenses, and given the flimsy nature of the Crown's case against them and the indomitable spirit they have showed at trial, it is this 100k that is the threat to crush them.
Jerry Morin and Chris Lysak, both released on February 6, have since settled their legal bills, or otherwise found raised funds separately.
With these developments in mind, this campaign has reset the final goal to reflect the new legal fees, and will be focusing on Chris and Tony.
We want to thank everyone who has donated or prayed for the men, from the bottom of our hearts, and sned thanks in advance to those who might donate further to help offset their legal fees.
With God's grace, these men will walk out of that courtroom in Lethbridge at the end of next week as free and innocent men.

Good day to all of the generous donors who have donated towards The Coutts Men's legal fund.
The trial has been ongoing now since June 6, after over two years of delay, unjust incarceration, and perfidy on the part of the Crown, and the government of Justin Trudeau.
We are almost there - defense has called witnesses this week, and we are almost at the end. I anticipate an announcement about a verdict date to come any day now.
In the meantime - fundraising efforts have stalled, and as I type this, I am not quite yet half way to my first target of 100k - I know times are tight, and many of us are struggling. If you have any extra dollars, however few leftover, they would be well appreciated, and it would also be extremely well appreciated by all of us if you could pass this GiveSendGo around your own communities, families, and networks.
For more thorough updates on trial proceedings, I will share some links, and some twitter accounts to follow.
Thanks so much - this trial is an example of David versus Goliath, where the state and its endless resources has been persecuting men for political reasons. The defense is operating on a shoestring, and we could use all of the assistance we can.

Hello Everyone -
Thank you so much for your continued generosity and concern for Jerry, Chris, Tony, and Chris.
Pre-trial hearings are on a pause again, and will resume on May 24. The case against Chris and Tony continues to disintegrate as malfeasance on the part of the Crown, and defects in their evidence, are revealed at pre-trial.
God willing, the Crown sees the hopeless nature of their persecution campaign and drops the case; failing that, it appears they will be thoroughly defeated at trial.
For regular progress updates, please subscribe to my Substack, and new articles on this case, amongst other great content.

Legal bills and debts continue to mount, and I will keep this campaign open until Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick are free and all legal accounts are settled.
Thanks so much!

Hello to all supporters and donors to The Coutts Four Men.
I would like to thank all of you for your immense generosity; thus far, you have collectively donated over 37k to the cause, and every one of those dollars is going to help. You are all certainly gifts of the Lord, every one of you.
Getting the funds into the hands of the men has begun - but because of Canadian Banking regulations, transfer limits, and the fact that the funds are being split four ways, it is going to take a few days for all of the funds thus far raised to be dispersed. The first transfer was made this morning, and they will continue until all four men have received their share.
The fight is not yet over; though Chris Lysak and Jerry Morin walk free, they still have outstanding legal bills. Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick remain in custody - their pre-trial motions resume later this month, and their legal bills continue to mount.
WIth that in mind, this GiveSendGo campaign will remain open and collecting funds until such time that Chris Carbert and Tony Olienick are out, and legal accounts have been settled.
Again, thank you all for your generous support, and I would ask that you keep the men in your prayers, as the punishment of the Canadian Government is not yet over.

Jerry Morin and Chris Lysak were let out of remand on bogus plea deals, "False Confessions" as it were, and Tony Olienick + Chris Carbert remain in custody.
The legal fight and bills remain, and we appreciate any donations that you can make to help fight the Crown and their use of Lawfare against these innocent men.
Thank you for helping and keeping these men in your hearts, the fight is not over yet.

It is with deepest gratitude that I would like to thank all of the donors to help the Coutts 4 men seek justice and be re-united with their families.
I wanted to assure those reluctant to donate because of the actions of the Canadian Government that it is extremely unlikely that they could seize these funds; they are designated for Legal Assistance, and the Emergencies Act is not in place.
There are 3 other GiveSendGo campaigns related to the men, and they have all paid out; this one will as well.
We are only 20% of the way to our first goal, and would appreciate any further generosity to come our way.
Thank you all so much and God Bless.
