Li testified she was working from her downtown home during the COVID-19 pandemic, including when protesters came to Ottawa. Li, wearing a white silky v-neck T-shirt with matching wide-leg dress pants, said during the following weeks of protests there would be scheduled honking. Li described feeling intimidated by an encounter with a trucker who shook his fist and honked his horn, and described protesters establishing structures to become more entrenched as the Freedom Convoy continued, including a makeshift soup kitchen. By the third week, after the injunction had been granted against honking, she said protesters became hostile when she was taking pictures. Li also described convoy vehicles slowing down ambulances that had been responding to a call and roads that were completely blocked off, but she couldn't remember specifics.
