(Randy Hillier) 5 years ago, Doug Ford decided to go after me using the courts for being the first elected representative in Canada to oppose the covid mandates.

I was charged a total of 25 times with maximum total penalties of $2.5 million and 25 years in jail.

Ford thought he could intimidate me and shut me up. First, by having me silenced and censured in the Ontario legislature, then using lawfare. Instead, we brought a challenge to the courts that the lockdown mandates were unconstitutional, and we won on April 17th, 2025.

5 years later, I have won all 25 charges, resulting in ZERO CONVICTIONS. But the MSM will be silent on these victories.

Many thanks to the JCCFCanada and John Carpay for standing with me and supporting my opposition to the Covid injustice.
