Relieved to see MPP charged

Amanda Pulker-Mok | May 05, 2021

Mr. Hillier’s actions in Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston and across the province in general have been frustrating, reckless, and straight up insulting to everyone who is doing their part during this pandemic. I’m glad to see that he’s facing some consequences for those actions that are quite literally putting people’s lives in danger. 

In the past few weeks, several municipalities within Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston have supported motions to condemn Mr. Hillier’s behaviour.

While I agree with the motions of the councils, I regret that Mr. Hillier’s actions are taking away from the conversations that need to be happening right now. 

We need elected officials to model the type of behaviour that’s encouraged during the pandemic, and then engage in thoughtful and constructive conversations about how we’re going to rebuild our community.

When those who hold public office do the exact opposite of what every doctor and Public Health Unit in this country is asking for, it’s insulting to those of us who are trying our best to get through this together.”
