Former LHSC nurse and anti-lockdown rally organizer fined $10K
CBC
A former London, Ont. nurse at the centre of multiple COVID-19 lockdown-related demonstrations has been fined $10,000.
A conviction was registered in provincial court on Sept. 22, finding Kristen Nagle guilty of "Fail to comply with a continued Section 7.0.2 order contrary to Section 10 (1) of the Reopening Act." That comes with a set fine of $10,000.00 plus costs.
Officials with the provincial offences court told CBC News the date of the offence for which Nagle was charged was Apr. 25, 2021. Three people were charged, and six others were fined following a church service at the Church of God in Aylmer, Ont.
Police said more than 100 people attended the service, despite a provincial order that limited indoor religious gatherings to 10 people.
MPP Randy Hillier and MP Derek Sloan, whose charges stemming from a separate incident were dropped, along with charges against Pastor Henry Hildebrandt, were in attendance, along with Nagle.
In a social media post, Nagle said the prosecutors stated that she wasn't just a participant but one of the people who led the way.
"I stand on my word I did nothing wrong, am not guilty and caused no harm against anyone. But here we are, where they acknowledge our rights and freedoms have been infringed upon, but with reasonable cause that infringement is allowed," she wrote.
Nagle has stated she will be appealing the conviction and charge.
