RCMP boss expresses desire for new law to deal with threats against politicians
OTTAWA – RCMP commissioner Mike Duheme says he wants the government to look at drafting a new law that would make it easier for police to pursue charges against people who threaten elected officials.
The Mounties are seeing an increase in invective directed at politicians, including comments from the same individuals on multiple occasions, Duheme said in an interview.
However, often the behaviour does not meet the Criminal Code threshold for laying a charge of uttering threats.
This clown needs to go.
