The Capital City Bikers Church has become a flashpoint of controversy in its Vanier neighbourhood in recent weeks because it staunchly supported “Freedom Convoy” participants, offering them hot meals, a place to warm up and moral support.
Some Vanier residents who disapproved of the nearby presence of protesters earlier this month posted pro-vaccine and anti-Convoy signs on a fence near the church. Last week the church received a more menacing sign on red paper that read: “A nest of Nazis. Burn it out.”
Pastor Rob McKee declined to comment about his church’s support for the convoy, but, on his personal Instagram account, he posted a photo of the threatening sign and wrote: “When you continue to open your doors to anyone in need. I guess some people will never like what you are doing.”
