On Day 2 of the Emergencies Act Inquiry, federal bureaucrat Zexi Li claimed that living through the Freedom Convoy felt like being in “The Purge.” The public servant also complained about seeing urine and defecation in the snow.
“I just remember feeling like it was such a surreal sight. It almost felt like you were in something like The Purge because it, though I didn’t often see direct acts of violence there was a certain chaos on the streets,” she told the Public Order Emergency Commission.
Later, in response to questioning from a lawyer, Li acknowledged that she “may” have told the protesters to “go back to where the f*** you are from.”
Downtown Ottawa resident Victoria De La Ronde said she experienced “Phantom Honking” after the Freedom Convoy left the city.
