One of those charges alleges Hillier, 64, encouraged his numerous social media followers to flood police non-emergency lines during the peak of the demonstration, when Ottawa police were pleading with the public to keep those phone lines open.
The assault charge outlined during Monday’s court session alleges Hillier, marching with a group that included PPC Leader Maxime Bernier, ignored an officer’s directions as the protest converged on Parliament Hill, then “threw” a metal gate out of the way. He is to reside there under the supervision of his wife, Jane Hillier, who will act as his court-approved surety after posting a $25,000 bond, while Hillier posted an additional $10,000 bond.Article content
Hillier was “actively encouraging” others to join the demonstration even after multiple emergency orders were put into effect, Wightman told court, and he directed people to bring fuel and food to the protesters as the “occupation” wore on. Wightman said Hillier’s social media accounts were his “tool of choice to advance dangerous rhetoric,” and argued that Hillier should be barred from posting to social media any critiques of COVID-19 regulations, masking requirements or anything related to the “anti-vaccine cause”.
