Hillier recently lost his Twitter account due to his controversial comments on COVID-19. In response to the news of Hillier’s imminent arrest, one person remarked that it was “unreal what Canada has become.” Another person suggested the Liberal government is using the police to arrest their political opponents.

I guess defunding the police is dead. Just sic the cops on political dissidents, boom, Canadians are happy. The good news for Americans is that, as Canada's decline accelerates, more productive Canadians will continue to flee for freer countries
