Aylmer Church of God Pastor Henry Hildebrandt Pleads Guilty to Violating COVID Rules, Fined $52,000
In a virtual appearance at a St. Thomas, Ontario Court today, Hildebrandt entered a guilty plea related to violating the Reopening Ontario Act. Hildebrandt has faced several charges related to violating public health restrictions.
This specific allegation pertains to an outdoor gathering at his church on June 6, 2021. During police surveillance, it was claimed that almost 200 individuals congregated at the church during an outside service, with no adherence to social distancing or mask-wearing.
Following his virtual court appearance today, Hildebrandt shared a video online where he disclosed that his guilty plea led to an agreement with the Crown. This arrangement resulted in the dismissal of all other charges against him, his church, his family, and fellow attendees.
Beyond the substantial fine of $52,000, Hildebrandt has also been ordered to pay an additional victim surcharge of $13,000.
Such a disgrace!
This Is No Longer A Free Canada.
He is an idiot.
Probably hired a lawyer to get this for him.
Why don't the Canadian people stop being complete fools and learn something useful instead of staring blankly into their phones all day.
Just a little research on his own part and he would have been able to beat all those COVID BS fines.
There are laws in place that were clearly violated and would win the case in a heart beat, but instead the mental laziness of Canadian's continues..
The country as a whole suffers from Stockholm Syndrome.
