William Komer (born 1988 or 1989) was a Canadian businessman and is a director and the chair of The United People of Canada organization.
Komer studied computer science at the University of Western Ontario.[1]
Komer owns five businesses located around London, Ontario including Campus Creative website company and Under the Umbrella wedding photography company.[2][3] In 2016, he tried to buy the empty Lorne Avenue public school in London, to convert it into a "multi-generational meeting place".[4][5]
He is also a director and the chair of The United People of Canada (TUPC) not for profit organization,[6] that occupied Saint Brigid’s church and which has links to the Canada convoy protest.[2][3] Komer signed an agreement on behalf of TUPC to buy the church for $5.95 million but the group failed to pay the deposit prior to being evicted.[7]
Komer attended the Canada convoy protest, and told the Ottawa Citizen newspaper that he did so "as a documentary filmmaker".[8]
In 2021, Komer's private prosecution of the police failed to convince the Ontario Superior Court of Justice that he suffered gender discrimination from the police during a domestic dispute.[9]
Komer was aged 27 in 2016.[5]
