Montreal Man Charged for Alleged Death Threats Against PM Mark Carney
RCMP say the 51-year-old suspect sent threatening remarks in an email to a senator and others before being charged under the Criminal Code.
On Monday, the RCMP's Federal Policing Eastern Region announced that a 51-year-old Montreal man, Marc Porlier, was charged with uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The investigation launched Aug. 5 by the RCMP's Integrated National Security Enforcement Team after threats were allegedly sent via email to a senator, "among other individuals," the RCMP said.
Separately, North Bay City Council candidate Glen Langlois reported receiving death threats via Facebook Messenger Saturday night, prompting police to confirm an arrest in that investigation.
Police tell BayToday that 44-year-old Adam Beaulieu has been charged with one count of uttering threats to cause death and was released on conditions, including no contact with Langlois.
Langlois stated he will continue cooperating with police, asserting, "I will not allow fear or intimidation to decide who is permitted to participate in North Bay's democracy.
