Journalism association asks RCMP to investigate Maxime Bernier over tweets

The People’s Party of Canada is doubling down after the Canadian Association of Journalists (CAJ) issued a call for the RCMP to investigate party leader Maxime Bernier over a tweet.

“The CAJ is mindful that several sections of the Criminal Code prohibit the willful promotion of hatred. For this reason, we urge the RCMP, and other law enforcement bodies, to launch investigations immediately,” the CAJ said in a press release.
