Two people accused of harassing the premier and his family outside their home last summer were back before a judge this morning.

Dana Metcalfe and Shane Sweeney were charged with criminal harassment and causing a disturbance following a protest outside Premier Andrew Furey’s home in Portugal Cove-St. Philip’s on July 9 last year.

They posted real-time videos of the “surprise convoy,” with honking vehicles, smoke flares and protesters denouncing the “sexualization and indoctrination” of kids in the school system.

At one point, Sweeney states, “the premier doesn’t listen to us when we’re at Confederation Building…so here we are.”

The case has hit a few speed bumps along the way, with a Nova Scotia prosecutor retained due to conflicts with the Crown in this province.

Then Metcalfe’s lawyer, Averill Baker, was suspended and later disbarred, leaving Metcalfe without counsel.

Metcalfe has since told the court she will represent herself.

Sweeney, meanwhile, has a lawyer who is working on a “resolution” with the Crown that could see a plea bargain.

In court this morning, Metcalfe asked to make contact with the Crown as well, but it’s not clear yet how she wants to proceed.

She previously indicated her intention to challenge the constitutionality of the charges, saying she is consulting experts “across Canada” on the matter.

Both Metcalfe and Sweeney remain free on court conditions.

The case will be called again on March 28 to see where it goes from here.
