NEW: Possible eviction of Freedom Convoy-affiliated group at Ottawa church ottnews
An organization called the United People of Canada have said they are in the process of purchasing St. Brigid's Church on St. Patrick Street, with plans to turn it into an "Embassy." The historic church has been for sale for over a year, with an asking price of $5.9 million.
"This was a civil court matter and police were called to be present and keep the peace. There were no further incidents to report." In a statement early Friday morning, William Komer of the United People of Canada said the attempt to "unlawfully evict" the group was in retaliation for complaints. "The United People of Canada have been, and remain to be, lawfully occupying The Embassy," Komer said.
The statement did not say anything about whether rent was paid up, or the pending purchase of the property. The largest financial backer for the group is Tony Cuzzocrea, President of Planmar Financial Corp. based in London, Ont.
