Speaking to a gathering on Saturday, a director of the group asserted that an eviction notice served this past week was invalid.
Speaking to a gathering of about 30 people in the deconsecrated Catholic church, TUPOC’s Diane Nolan asserted that an eviction notice served this past week was invalid, and she said the group deserved an apology for how it had been characterized.
“You haven’t sat down and talked with us,” Nolan said. “We haven’t had a conversation. All we want to do is serve the community.”Article content In her hour-long question-and-answer session, Nolan said TUPOC was motivated by love for its neighbours and a love for the world. While Nolan said she helped out during last winter’s “Freedom Convoy” occupation of downtown Ottawa, she said the issues went beyond the convoy.Article content
Nolan said she previously did street ministry among the homeless in Ottawa and loaded her speech with talk of God and Christian references. She called the rent dispute a “Red Sea Moment,” that is a predicament that will be solved with God’s intervention, and made references to “the seven mountains.”
