LILLEY: Woman who threatened Mark Carney is no free speech hero

A Toronto woman who made online threats against Prime Minister Mark Carney is being held up as a martyr for freedom of speech when, in reality, she’s a public nuisance and possible danger.

Nicole Pearen Miske, posted about Carney on Feb. 10 and made a threat that police found out about and had to investigate.

It seems a bit overblown to me. A civilian on the receiving end of that nonsense would likely be told the police could do nothing.
