OTTAWA — The criminal charges against former Ontario legislator Randy Hillier related to his participation in the Freedom Convoy protest have been stayed after a judge ruled his case had taken too long.

Hillier was charged in March 2022 with nine offences connected to his role in the demonstrations early that year, in which protesters gridlocked downtown Ottawa in protest of COVID-19 pandemic measures and the federal government.

The charges include assaulting a peace officer, mischief, counselling others to commit mischief and resisting or obstructing a peace officer.

Hillier, who represented an Ottawa-area riding in the provincial legislature from 2007 to 2022, chose to be tried before a judge and jury in Ontario Superior Court, and a four-week trial was set to begin in January.

The Supreme Court of Canada has set mandatory time limits for court cases, with a 30-month cap for those being heard in Superior Court.

In a ruling released Thursday, Superior Court Justice Kerry McVey found the case had gone over the maximum threshold, spanning 31 months and 13 days after deducting delays caused by the defence and exceptional circumstances.

CAFE WARNS SHELBURNE FREEDOM FIGHTERS OF POLITICIZED JUSTICE SYSTEM’S ABUSE-BY-PROCESS

Posted on by

Today CAFE attended the bimonthly freedom rally in Shelburne. Great sunny Autumn weather and fellowship.

I gave a short talk on the abuse -by-process often used by Canada’s politicized justice system. I reported on the case of London-area freedom fighter Clayton McAllister. He was the first trucker after Tyrant Trudeau invoked the Emergencies Act. He simply lay down in the snow. He was arrested and faces charges of mischief, violating a Court order, trespass and resisting arrest. The torrent of charges are the acts of a vengeful state against a gentle non-violent trucker. His one month long trial was to open in Ottawa, October 21, 2024. At the last minute, the Crown offered to drop the charges and he would sign a one-year peace bond. Among other conditions, he would not be allowed to attend a demonstration of more than 25 people. In this way, the enemies of freedom often restrict dissidents WITHOUT a conviction. Clayton wisely refused. Now, it’s up to the Crown whether to drop the charges of go to trial.

The Crown’s tactics are abuse-by-process aimed to break dissidents.

Large Southern Ontario Rally & Convoy Commemorate Truckers’ Freedom Convoy

Large Southern Ontario Rally & Convoy Commemorate Truckers’ Freedom Convoy

About 300 people gathered on the bridge on Centennial Road over the Queen Elizabeth Way and in a surrounding parking lot to commemorate the day in 2022 that the Truckers’ Freedom Convoy reached Ottawa to protest the COVID mandates and other attacks on freedom. The enthusiasm and friendliness of the freedom fighters was amazing. The battle against the ongoing assault on freedoms — threats to free speech on the Internet, more loss of gun rights, and the threatened theft of the right to earn a living in agriculture, mining and oil and natural gas industries — is not over. There was a sea of “Fuck Trudeau” flags and banners.

This group was joined by a convoy of at least 100 vehicles from the Niagara Peninsula. The two groups merged and headed off to a Vaughan Mills north of Toronto.

Hamilton is generally known as a leftist stronghold. Yet, this past week Hamilton has seen several and loud and spirited protests outside the downtown hotel where the Trudeau cabinet was meeting. Cabinet ministers, surrounded by a phalanx of police, looked shaken as they passed through a vocal crowd of freedom fighters Tuesday night.
