A Quebec City man is charged after police allege he made death threats online directed at Prime Minister Mark Carney. According to RCMP, 45-year-old Ousmane Bah is facing charges related to the alleged threats posted on Facebook.
The investigation begins after reports are made on July 6, when threats against Carney are brought to police attention. Police allege Bah posted content that included threats to kill Carney. In addition to threat-related charges, RCMP also alleges the posts promoted hatred against an identifiable group.
Different outlets focus on overlapping details: all report the RCMP-led investigation, the July 6 start date, and the Facebook posting. Coverage also aligns on the defendant’s age and that he is from Quebec City. The Winnipeg Free Press report names the same case, while other outlets more explicitly list the specific charge counts.
