A report into the impact of the "Freedom Convoy" occupation on residents of Ottawa has accused all three levels of government of failing to uphold the human rights of people who live and work in downtown Ottawa. describes itself as a grassroots effort to promote healing and justice after the convoy occupation of Ottawa-Gatineau in 2022. It is a program of Centretown Community Health Centre.
The report claims there was a "colossal abdication" on the parts of the city of Ottawa, the province of Ontario and the government of Canada with regard to respecting human rights of residents. It also says mechanisms for ensuring rights are upheld have long been ineffective. Residents who took part in the OPC said they felt abandoned by institutions and civic leaders, amid a protest that became an occupation and was, despite the insistence of participants and supports, violent towards members of the community.
"Almost without exception, in all of these attempts to encourage police to act on criminal complaints, or bylaw officers to enforce municipal bylaws, the response was inaction," the report found. "Often people simply received no response. Many people were told by police that they were not taking enforcement action in the red zone and were waiting for further orders.
