Police say they have cautioned a St. Catharines, Ont., man after he encouraged people on Twitter to protest outside the home of the parents of provincial lawmaker Sam Oosterhoff.
The tweet, since deleted, included Oosterhoff’s parents’ address and phone number. He said it made him fear for their safety.
But the man behind the tweet, Rob Gill, who made an unsuccessful run for city council this past year, said Monday he has no regrets about the post and said it was police — not him — who overstepped their bounds by coming to his home.
On Dec. 21, Gill tweeted: “This Christmas, let’s protest @samoosterhoff and his bigot, misogynistic and homophobic personality & upbringing.” He then encouraged people to “protest at his parents’ home” or “give them a call.”
