ByErnest Skinner<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\n<\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n Rogue Ontario MPP Randy Hillier doesn\u2019t mince words. He never has. \nThe Tory-turned-independent from the notoriously populist-conservative \nOttawa Valley has always been on the outside looking in, even when he \nwas on the inside of the PC Caucus. In November 2020 he was charged for \nleading an anti-lockdown protest at the Ontario Legislature. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The Western Standard<\/em>\u2018s <\/em>Ernest Skinner spoke with \nHiller about his opposition to lockdowns, mandatory-masking, and why he \nis putting his neck on the line to fight them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1. Who is Randy Hillier, the MPP?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I\u2019m an independent member the legislature and the \nprovincial Parliament for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston. I\u2019ve been in \nelected office since 2007. My political views don\u2019t always get met with \nenthusiasm as I am a bit of a maverick you could say. Besides that, I\u2019m a\n dad, a husband, a father of four kids, and have 6 grandkids.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 2. Would you consider yourself an outlaw or bohemian in the realms of your political views at times?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, listen, I\u2019m a very independent-minded person, and I speak \nmy mind, regardless of what others may or may not think, and that often \nhas me swimming against the currents of political correctness and \naccepted dogma. I\u2019ve often been in the penalty box, but I have an \nabsolute foundational view that to be in elected office, one must be \ntruthful and honest at all times, regardless of the consequences.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 3. We all know that you\u2019re against the lockdowns. Can you \ncomment on your findings regarding deaths and collateral damage as a \ndirect result of them?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cYes, the Justice Center for Constitutional Freedoms released a \nreport today (December 3) that lays out an exceptionally strong case of \nthe evidence that the lockdowns and this social experiment that we have \nundertaken as a result of COVID[-19] have led to substantial and \nsignificant harm, injury and fatality for those who were never at risk \nof COVID. We are seeing at least a 50 per cent increase in deaths in \nthese other areas such as the suicides, addiction, overdoses, etc.\u201d<\/em>\n\n\n\n<\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n 4. How would you assess Chief Health Medical Officer Dr. \nTheresa Tam\u2019s handling of COVID-19 and her advice to Canadians since \nMarch?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cProfessionally, I\u2019d have to do use some diplomatic language, and just call her incompetent.<\/strong>\n This is the same person who suggested that masks could not stop the \nspread of COVID at the height of the threat, and then in July thought \nthey were the most wonderful thing. She also said you should wear them \nwhen you are having sex, and one of the ways we can reduce the spread is\n by engaging in masturbation instead of intimate relations.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 5. What are your thoughts on Doug Ford and how he has used his powers since the start of the pandemic?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cHe should be singled out for derision. He came into office with a\n mandate of open economy, that Ontario is open for business, that he is \nfor the little guy. He\u2019s also the one we\u2019ve seen throughout this, \ntelling people that it was too dangerous to go to the cottage; we find \nhe\u2019s going to his cottage. He tells people it\u2019s unsafe to have a \nwedding, and he\u2019s going to weddings. It\u2019s been an endless contradiction.\n He told us we have to have a broad-based provincial approach to this \nand then of course that changed to a regional approach. He\u2019s been flying\n off-the<\/em>\u2013cuff for nine months and everybody in Ontario has been harmed by this ineptness.\u201d<\/em>\n\n\n\n<\/ins><\/p>\n\n\n\n 6. Why do you think that \u201cexperts\u201d such as Dr. Tam, Dr. \nFauci, and others keep staying on the same path even when they reverse \ncourse and contradict themselves? Can you also talk a bit about the \nwearing of masks<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWell, I see them as bureaucrats; they\u2019re not engaged in \npractising medicine even though at some point they may have had a \nmedical degree. We all know that if you are going to wear a mask the \nbenefits have to outweigh the consequences. We know very clearly now \nthat the asymptomatic spread is not an issue. If you are going to \ncontract the virus it\u2019s going to be because you are in a confined space \nwith proximity to infected people for a prolonged period of time. Many \nstudies tell us that\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 7. Have you personally spoken with experts in the field of \nvaccines and viruses that disagree with the lockdown and mandatory-mask \napproach?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cToday, [December 3] I\u2019ll be speaking with Dr. Roger Hodkinson who has been slammed by big tech and social media for speaking out at an Edmonton city council meeting<\/a>.\n I\u2019ve spoken with Dr. Matt Straus, Dr. Kulvinder Kaur, Dr. Stephen \nMalthouse and these are credible doctors. Tens of thousands across the \nworld have signed on to the Great Barrington Declaration<\/a><\/em>,stating\n unequivocally that this social experiment of masking and lockdowns in \nisolation and confinement is not a solution. Another thing is social \nmedia has been engaged in actively suppressing dissenting views, and \nwe\u2019ve also seen it from our mainstream media<\/em> \u2013 CTV, CBC, \nanybody who has a dissenting opinion \u2013 is disregarded as some sort of \nconspiracy theorist. We had Dr. Lawrence Rosenberg, the Chief Medical \nOfficer of Health in Montreal state it\u2019s like a bad flu season, and even\n our own Minister of Long Term Care stated categorically that it was \nlike a bad flu season; but both the MSM and our social media have been \nactive in suppressing that information and knowledge to the general \npublic.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 8. Regarding your colleagues in the legislature; are there \nothers that you know of that agree with your thoughts and views on \nCOVID-19?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cA great many. These are people that I know in the NDP, the \nLiberal Party, the CP, who all share my views and my sentiments or a \ngreat many of them. They are fearful of speaking out. They\u2019re fearful of\n being removed from their caucus, being kicked out of their parties, \nfearful of losing the added perks and benefits of being a parliamentary \nassistant or a minister.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 9.<\/strong> What would be your overall personal \nassessment of what people in general are feeling, and the ramifications \nfor the ones in charge of steering the ship?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cPeople are living in fear, because they have not been exposed to\n alternative views and dissenting opinions. They are not aware of the \nfacts and evidence that show beyond a reasonable doubt that this \nsituation is exaggerated. At the end of the day \u2013 as more and more of \nthese exaggerations are dispelled \u2013 people will come to realize that we \nmade some very horrible and tragic decisions during COVID[-19] and there\n is going to be a price to pay for those officials who failed to do \ntheir jobs\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n 10. What advice would you give to people that are confused by\n the contradictions and questionable advice that our leaders are giving \nus? <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cThere\u2019s an individual whose name is Dr. Michael Yeadon. He\u2019s a \nformer chief scientist for Pfizer. He has put out a video which is \nabout 30 minutes long. It is an astonishing, all-encompassing video \nthat covers things such as masks. It covers clearly why the tests that \nwe\u2019re doing are creating so many false-positives and that we ought not \nto be basing our public policies on a test that is faulty, and faulty to\n such a high degree. He would be a good one to go to for people that \nhave very limited time to investigate on their own.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ernest Skinner is the WestRock Columnist for the Western Standard<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Ontario\u2019s Randy Hillier stands athwart Ford and the lockdowners The Western Standard\u2019s Ernest Skinner spoke with Hiller about his opposition to lockdowns, mandatory-masking, and why he is putting his neck on the line to fight them.
