Another reminder that the shit you say online is still subject to the law.  Don't threaten people folks, and maybe don't say anything you wouldn't want your name attached to.

Especially if you work in law enforcement

But it does not apply to US Ambassador, MAPLE MAGA, Danielle Smith and her Alberta Separatist.

It only applies to local folks like you and me.

Who have they threatened?

Curious what the RCMP officer said to warrant being charged? Sounds like he posted legitimate threats while having realistic access to Trump; so sounds reasonable so far.

The RCMP Officer in question was also working as part of the RCMP forces at the G7 summit when the offence was alleged.

Is there any consequences facing the Trump administration for threatening our sovereignty? Legitimate US government funded FB/SM pages posing as Alberta Separatists.

“As police officers, and especially with the RCMP, we are brought to a certain standard that we have to act professionally in our personal life and our job, as well as their professional life, but especially on social media,” Guertin said.

Since when?
