Ontario Member of Provincial Parliament (MPP) Randy Hillier announced plans to run for the Premier of Ontario with the People’s Party of Canada in the 2022 election..“To win this battle it only takes one thing and that’s for all of us to be honest, all of us to have the courage and conviction to speak truthfully and honestly,” said Hillier, calling out the “enemy” of big pharma, big corporation, big government and public health who are “profiteering at our expense.”.“We’re going to fight this politically, as well. The purple wave is coming to Ontario,” announced Hillier to a crowd Sunday..Hillier has been an MPP since 2007 and currently sits as an independent representing Lanark-Frontenac-Kingston..Originally part of the Progressive Conservative (PC) party, Hillier was removed by Premier Doug Ford in 2019 after being accused of making disrespectful comments to parents of children with autism..Throughout the pandemic, Hillier has been outspoken about face masks, the COVID-19 vaccines and lockdowns..Hillier said he plans to “fight for freedom, for justice, for democracy and for fairness,” and for a “culture that reflects our faith, freedom and family.” .“The purple wave is here and it will be on the ballot box and I will be leading them for the June election in 2022,” said Hillier..The PPC federal political party was formed by Maxime Bernier in September 2018, shortly after he resigned from the Conservative Party of Canada. Bernier was unsuccessful in his bid for leadership of the Tories in 2017..The PPC ran candidates in 315 ridings for the 2019 federal election but were unsuccessful in all ridings including Bernier’s bid for re-election in his riding of Beauce..In the 2021 federal election, the PPC then ran 312 candidates and, again, none were successful, although the party made gains in the popular vote by 5%..The party heavily opposed COVID-19 lockdowns and restrictions, vaccine passports and vaccine mandates in the 2021 federal election..The Western Standard has reached out to Hillier for comment but had not heard back in time for publishing..Melanie Risdon is a reporter with the Western Standard.,.mrisdon@westernstandardonline.com
