Re: Randy Hillier

I am responding to the Nov 5th article, 'Lockdowns, Restrictions & Our MPP.'

As one of Randy Hillier's 17,000 Twitter followers, I know of 10+ other people who don't have Twitter accounts who also hold similar views to MPP Hillier's; and we appreciate that we have a voice in the Ontario Legislature.  He needs to stay there for our sake if not yours.

Also, to state that he is a COVID denier is slanderous. No one is denying the existence of the virus; however, we take issue with how it's being used by power-hungry tyrants to suppress our basic rights, freedoms and civil liberties through a climate of fear and biased information.

And for the past 50+ years, we've taken a wild west approach to the seasonal flu, and since this virus is no deadlier than the flu (with a 99.67% survival rate), his advocating for that sounds like basic common sense to me.

Sincerely,
Helve Young
