Randy Hillier’s vile hatred and Islamophobia have no place in Ontario, or anywhere for that matter. This cannot be allowed to go unpunished. Ontario Liberals have taken the following actions in response to Hillier’s hateful tweet. #onpoli 1/4
We will be introducing an emergency request to debate this issue and amend the standing orders to censure MPPs for actions taken outside of Queen’s Park. I have also referred Hillier’s tweet to the OPP to investigate whether it constitutes hate speech. #onpoli 2/4
We cannot allow anybody, especially elected officials, to use hateful rhetoric that puts Muslims and Arab-Canadians in danger. There needs to be consequences. #onpoli 3/4
To my friend @OmarAlghabra, I am so sorry you are facing this despicable attack. To the many Arab-Ontarians and Muslims reading Hillier’s words in disgust, please know that we will always stand with you against hateful Islamophobes. #onpoli 4/4
@StevenDelDuca I don't want to live in a Canada that "doesn't allow" certain types of speech, regardless if YOU feel it's "hateful" or not. All speech should be free, especially speech that others find offensive. You would think someone in PUBLIC OFFICE should know these basic truths...
@StevenDelDuca You stand for immigrants, provided they’re triple vaxxed and stay home forever.
