ONTARIO MPP RANDY HILLIER NOT BACKING DOWN

  The MPP for Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston said he had hoped that a PC government would represent positive change for the province, and he called it “disheartening” that the change did not take place.

Instead, the PC backroom “operatives” expelled him for a list of offences like refusing to obtain permission before speaking to the media, demanding MPPs be allowed to engage in debate and committee examinations, and refusing to stand and applaud in the House as ordered.

“Furthermore, I was also condemned for not seeking ‘permission’ to attend my brother’s funeral,” Hillier said. “This, to me, is the most egregious act. It undermines me as a person and thereby undermines all Ontarians by putting party politics above compassion and respect.”
