OTTAWA — An Ontario judge has dismissed Ontario MPP Randy Hillier’s request to have the terms of his bail conditions revised.
Randy Hillier, an Independent member of Ontario’s legislature, was in court Thursday to seek to lift certain bail conditions, such as being banned from posting on social media about anti-vaccine sentiments, mask mandates or the “Freedom Convoy,” and that he not visit the downtown core of Ottawa.
Hillier’s lawyer said the bail conditions should be lifted because they are overly restrictive, and that there is a weak connection between the convoy’s actions and an opposition to mask and vaccine mandates.
Ontario Superior Court Justice Hugh McLean said Hiller and his lawyers had agreed to the conditions and “acknowledged (their) need” when they were originally set.
