The Royal Canadian Mounted Police announced they have charged a 33-year-old man from Ontario with making violent threats against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. This development comes just weeks after two Alberta men faced similar charges.

The alleged threats were posted in an online video, targeting the prime minister, the police, and anyone who might interfere with the man's plans.
