A 55-year-old Winnipeg man has been charged after allegedly making online threats towards Prime Minister Mark Carney and others.
Authorities launched an investigation on January 16 after threats were posted on “X,” formerly known as Twitter.
Police say the threats targeted Prime Minister Carney, as well as incited hatred towards the Jewish and Muslim communities.
Jason Paul Rindall was taken into custody by the RCMP’s federal policing northwest region’s national security enforcement team on February 13.
He has been charged with uttering threats to Carney to cause death, as well as uttering threats to Muslum and Jewish persons to cause death.
Rindall remains in custody and is scheduled to make his next appearance in a Winnipeg courtroom on March 13.
