---

Photos from a camping trip show Ontario MPP Randy Hillier posing with the flag of a far-right secessionist group linked to conspiracy to murder charges and firearms seized en route to the Coutts border blockade.

Hillier, the sitting MPP for Lanark–Frontenac–Kingston, who was kicked out of Doug Ford's party for mocking parents of autistic children, has been one of the main political leaders of the convoy that has occupied downtown Ottawa for nearly three weeks.

Throughout the pandemic, Hillier has also been a top organizer against COVID-19 public health measures through his "No More Lockdowns" group, but photos suggest Hillier has increasingly courted the support of dangerous extremists.
