Ontario MPP Randy Hillier’s request to have his bail conditions revised has been denied by the court. 
Hillier, an Independent member of Ontario’s legislature, turned himself in to Ottawa police last month over charges related to his participation in the Freedom Convoy protests earlier this year. On March 29, he was released on bail with several conditions, including a prohibition from posting on social media about the Freedom Convoy protests, COVID-19 mask or vaccine mandates, or the “anti-vaccine cause.” 
He is also banned from setting foot in downtown Ottawa, except for meetings with his lawyer, and from contacting any of the convoy organizers. In addition, Hillier cannot provide any support, including financial support, to the Freedom Convoy or any other organizations or causes that oppose the COVID-19 mask or vaccine mandates.
