If one thing is evident from the Ottawa People’s Commission on the convoy occupation, it’s that many residents are still angry and concerned, and some still suffering, over the “Freedom Convoy’s” takeover of the city’s downtown core last winter.
On Saturday, the commission held its seventh public hearing, and third in-person, since hosting its first just over six weeks ago. Five speakers spoke at the Jack Purcell Community Centre, where about 30 people gathered to watch and listen. The hearing, which was hosted by commissioners Alex Neve, an adjunct professor in international human rights at uOttawa and Dalhousie University, and author and human rights activist Monia Mazigh, will be broadcast on the commission’s YouTube channel next week.
