An Ontario man has been arrested by RCMP after he made violent threats in an online video against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, police and security personnel who might try to interfere with his plans.
The RCMP made the arrest with the assistance of York Regional Police in Ontario.
Dawid Zalewski, 33, was later charged with two counts of uttering threats.
The arrest comes weeks after two Alberta men were charged for allegedly threatening to kill the premier.
The RCMP said in July that the men had posted death threats against Mr. Trudeau and other politicians on X-rated content and YouTube.
“Threats to our national security can take many forms and Canada is not immune,” the RCMP said in a statement Wednesday.
“We are aware of the heightened security environment for public officials and the danger this poses to all Canadians. Our number one priority has been and always will be the safety and security of Canadians,” added the RCMP.
