Laura Osman, The Canadian PressOTTAWA — An Ottawa-based group with suspected ties to the"Freedom Convoy" says it was threatened with eviction Wednesday and is ready to take its cause to court in an attempt to set up headquarters in the country's capital.
The group calls the building an"embassy," and describes itself as a"diverse, intergenerational fraternal organization." "We're still lawfully occupying the building, from our perspective that speaks for itself," Komer said in an interview Thursday."Our perspective is we're victim of discrimination." The attempted eviction follows weeks of conflict between members of the group and their neighbours. Local residents have protested TUPOC's continued presence in the community and see it as an opportunity for convoy supporters to set up a permanent outpost in Ottawa.
Komer said the group has posted private security around the building and is prepared to take legal action if police don't take"appropriate action" to investigate the eviction and other allegations of vandalism and illegal protest against their group. The group's website also promotes community conversation sessions about the convoy, sponsored by a website that offers"community-based research" about injuries related to COVID-19 vaccines.
