After their GoFundMe campaign was seized on Saturday, the organizers of the 'Freedom convoy' in Ottawa are now also facing a lawsuit from a woman living in the country's capital, who has left her case open for other residents to join.
Ottawa resident Zexi Li filed a $9.8million lawsuit in Ontario Superior Court on Friday, seeking damages for 'emotional and mental distress', citing ongoing headaches, sleeping difficulties, difficulty concentrating and interference with quiet enjoyment of her home.
'The Class Members are living in daily torment caused by the incessant blasting of truck horns,' reads the statement of claim.
The lawsuit, filed by lawyer Paul Champ, categorizes two types of damages: the first, worth $4.8 million, for 'private nuisance', while the second is for 'punitive damages,' worth $5 million.

(34,070 posts)i mean, you're getting insurance for a truck used for work--not for fucking off and going to hang out with other truckers to stir up crap on a friday night. (that's why they have pick up trucks)

They could be finding out soon what it means to live in interesting times.
