The head of a group that organizes anti-restrictions rallies across the country has been charged again for his role in a St. Thomas demonstration – the third time he’s been cited under Ontario’s pandemic law. (Throw the book at him!)
Lamont Daigle is charged under the Reopening Ontario Act with organizing an outdoor gathering exceeding the permitted limit, his group, The Line Canada, said.
Daigle, who received a summons to appear in a St. Thomas court on Jan. 14, is the co-founder and president of the self-described civil liberties organization behind a wave of recent rallies challenging the government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to these demonstrations sweeping across the province, police have charged organizers – and even participants – for violating the Reopening Ontario Act, the emergency law imposed to slow the spread of the pandemic.
“The police have been targeting all the main players in the protest,” George Roche, the executive director of The Line Canada, said Tuesday.
“We can all agree that this is unconstitutional. We have a right to peaceful assembly . . . why are the police cooperating with this?”
WELL MR. DAIGLE, YOU ARE INFRINGING THE RIGHTS OF OTHER PEOPLE TO REMAIN SAFE BY NOT WEARING A MASK YOURSELF!
Hopefully, this guy, and others like him, will have the full weight of the law come down on him!
The way I see it anyway!
