The assessment is based on submissions by over 200 people at 14 hearings and eight community meetings plus online and mailed submissions.
That assessment is at the heart of a report to be released Monday by the Ottawa People’s Commission on the Convoy Occupation , which, over the course of 14 hearings and eight community meetings last fall, as well as online and mailed submissions, heard from more than 200 people about how last year’s weeks-long convoy occupation impacted their lives. Two of those hearings were devoted to supporters of the convoy.
“It is starkly evident that none of those governments have developed an overarching human rights framework to guide decisions about programs and services for residents of downtown Ottawa, nor do they conduct a regular assessment to identify and understand the human rights needs of the diverse communities who call central Ottawa home.”
“People,” it notes, “felt occupied in that their communities were taken over by force and without their agreement, both physically by way of blocking streets with large trucks and other vehicles, and by accosting people for wearing masks, as well as psychologically through such methods as blaring horns and displaying symbols and messages of hate, racism and discrimination.”
