An Ottawa city councillor wrote to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the RCMP in February claiming that residents in her ward, which includes the area surrounding Parliament Hill, experienced “unprecedented violence” from the Freedom Convoy, although she had not seen any acts of violence herself.
“I didn’t personally witness any acts of violence. I was told about them,” Catherine McKenney testified at the Public Order Emergency Commission on Oct. 14.
