Nicole Pearen Miske, posted about Carney on Feb. 10 and made a threat that police found out about and had to investigate.

LILLEY: Woman who threatened Mark Carney is no free speech hero Back to video

This isn’t a case of cops showing up to warn, harass or arrest people for so-called “offensive” social media posts. This is about making a public threat against the prime minister of our country.

Miske took a post from the group Canadians for Justice and Peace in the Middle East, a radical left-wing group that wants neither justice nor peace in the Middle East, and reposted it with her own comments.

“YOU F***ING TRAITOR!!!!!!! F*** you f*** you f*** you! I’m coming for you, you suck (sic) twisted f***. You will get yours!,” Miske wrote.

Threat driven by hatred of Israel

She was upset over Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu being allowed to fly through Canadian air space on his way to Washington. The CJPME post screamed “Canada gives safe passage to war criminal” and called on Carney to enforce an arrest warrant for Netanyahu issued by the International Criminal Court.

To give you an idea of how out of touch with reality CJPME and Miske are, the only way to do that as Netanyahu was flying through Canadian airspace would be to scramble fighter jets to intercept the Israeli plane. In other words, these supposedly peace-loving people wanted Canada to engage in an act of war to execute the arrest.

Threatening violence is illegal in Canada

Section 264.1 of the Criminal Code of Canada is clear, “Every one commits an offence who, in any manner, knowingly utters, conveys or causes any person to receive a threat to cause death or bodily harm to any person.” While it would be up to a court to determine whether her threat was a criminal offence, it appears that Miske not only uttered the threat, she uttered it against the prime minister of the country.

You don’t need to like our PM or support his policies to know that is wrong. For the police not to drop by and assess the situation would have been negligence on their part.

In a video posted to her Instagram account on March 5, Miske is seen speaking with two officers with the Toronto Police Service. As one of the officers is trying to speak with her, Miske is berating both of them and calling Carney some pretty despicable names.

“There’s some allegations that you’ve made, some online posts to the prime minister of Canada. Do you have anything to say about that?” the officer said.

“Can you be more specific? What post, what I specifically said? Do you have a screenshot?” Miske asked.

The officer responded that he did have the post and as he tried to pull it up on his phone, Miske went on a tirade.

“Because, I mean, he’s a Zionist scumbag, and he’s not my prime minister,” Miske said, “but really, you’re gonna come to my door and you’re worried that I’m going to do something. Do I seriously look like a threat to you?”

“That’s what we came to talk, right?” the officer said.

Police right to pay her a visit

From there she went on a profanity-laced rant about how the officers should be looking for real criminals, not harassing her, and that they can’t stop her from saying what she wants. While the officer tried to inform Miske that although she can have any opinion she wants, threats are a problem, it appeared to fall on deaf ears.

“Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. I will say whatever the f*** I want about our prime minister. You can’t stop my speech,” she said just before closing the door on the officers.

Sorry, Nicole, but if your speech is threatening anyone, including the PM, police can and should stop your speech. No charges were laid in this case.

We never want to get to the point that Britain is at where police show up over hurt feelings. However, we also don’t want to get to the point where threatening violence against elected officials is tolerated.
