The woman testified Friday she suffers hearing loss, lung and throat problems and mental health issues after enduring the occupation.
Victoria De La Ronde said the noise and horn-honking during the protest made it difficult to sleep, while diesel fumes and smells affected her lungs and throat.Sign up to receive daily headline news from the Ottawa SUN, a division of Postmedia Network Inc.By clicking on the sign up button you consent to receive the above newsletter from Postmedia Network Inc.

But, as the protest dragged on, she became distraught. “There was no place to go, no place to hide,” De La Ronde said, adding that h In cross-examination by a lawyer representing convoy protesters, Li was asked whether she saw truckers threaten to physically harm anyone, engage in “espionage or sabotage,” light fires inside buildings or destroy vehicles.Article contentLi also agreed the horn-honking eased after the court injunction she sought against it was granted on Feb. 7.Zexi Li appears as a witness at the Public Order Emergency Commission on Friday.
“It’s taking its toll on me. My jaw hurts from clenching non-stop, my heart constantly races, I have been sleeping on average three to four hours a night. I can’t stop shaking, I’m barely eating, my stomach is continually upset.” The commission also heard that Fleury was personally threatened at his home. A few hours after he posted on social media in support of blocking funding to convoy groups, Fleury said, two pickups adorned with flags arrived at his home carrying people “yelling absurdities.”

At one point, a fire truck could not respond to a call from the Château Laurier hotel because streets were blocked, he said.
McKenney also criticized the Ontario and federal governments, saying they didn’t respond in a way that would indicate they were taking the “siege” of Canada’s capital seriously. A lawyer for the Ottawa Police Service pointed out that Peter Sloly, then the city’s police chief, told councillors on Jan. 26 that the convoy protest about to arrive in town was “fluid” and police could not predict what might happen.
The Rideau Centre closed for the first time in its history, Carrier said. It remained closed for 24 days, Fleury said, after officials had trouble controlling large crowds and some shoppers had their masks ripped off by protesters.Some businesses saw the convoy crowd as a possible opportunity and tried to remain open, but found it impossible to manage crowds, keep their staff safe and avoid confrontations, he said.
“I remember being scared personally,” Carrier said, voice shaking. “Because I remember the chief saying at one point, ‘You guys are scared, I get it. I’m scared, too.’ And I thought, ‘If the chief of police was scared, something much bigger is happening here than a protest.'” During the third week of the protest, a manager at Canadian Tire reported to her that the store had “sold out of knives and bear spray for the weekend,” Carrier said. She reported that to police.
