OPP profiled Randy Hillier, convoy organizers and far-right group during protests, documents show /via globeandmail
The profile also details more than half a dozen complaints the OPP had received about Mr. Hillier, including that he had sent e-mails “advocating for overthrowing the government and preparing for war,” called on people to “bring tar and feathers for the sitting of the Provincial Parliament” and tweeted messages that “verge on counselling an offence.”
After the profile was written, e-mails show, the OPP wanted to learn more about Mr. Bulford. In one message, dated Feb. 4, Supt. Morris writes to the RCMP, inquiring, “What is his tactical training?” The RCMP’s response is redacted. He refuted the suggestion in the e-mails that he posed a security risk. “I’ve never revealed any kind of sensitive information or revealed any kind of tradecraft that would be protected under the Security of Information Act,” he said.
In an e-mail, Mr. Dichter said he would “normally be annoyed” to be profiled by the OPP, “however during the commission, we have seen confirmation of what my friends in law enforcement have been telling me for years – that most of the police brass and political ‘leaders’ are grossly incompetent and politicized to the point they are dangerous.”
Mr. Saccoccia is “known to antagonize and then livestream/photograph interactions with law enforcement,” the OPP profile says. “He is a COVID-19 denier, conspiracy theorist and espouses strong anti-government, misogynistic and anti-Semitic ideologies.” Several other profiles detail lengthy histories of involvement with police, though the subjects’ identities generally could not be determined. One man’s profile leads with the warning, “Caution: HATES POLICE.” Another’s criminal history makes reference to assault and harassment.
