A 57-year-old man has been charged with threatening to assassinate Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and murder 10 female members of Parliament, and kidnap their children.

James Platts was arraigned on Wednesday in an Ontario courtroom, facing charges of uttering threats. A judge ordered that Platts undergo mental assessment, that he not contact the current — or former — prime minister, or any female MPs, and released him on bail.

Platts used the opportunity to declare that he was the head of Canada's secret service, and that he was a secret agent working for American presidential hopeful Hillary Clinton, according to Northumberland News.

The Windsor, Ontario resident is said to have a history of violence.

This is one strange story. Everything has the hallmarks of a right-wing terrorist yet, inconceivably, he brings up Hillary Clinton. Bizarre...

Oh yeah...the Bernie group gets fucked again. Plus, I can't see SHIT with this God-Damn bag on!.
Who in the hell made these sons-a-bi**ches?

[trillion]

14. Right, this is just more free press for Hillary dang it!

Go Bernie! I guess he's just not nuts enough or has crazy enough supporters. Oh well, we'll elect him anyway.

6. Seems to be some strongly deranged people in Canada

which makes their actions all the more shocking, since Canadians are much more civilized than most of the US.

...in the US, it's a competition, who can be the baddest, maddest of them all.

7. You have to bear in mind southern Ontario is Canada's Dixie All my Brantford cousin supported

Harper and are anti Muslim None of them have ever met a Muslim They hate immigrants and people on welfare and like this guy eventually go Bat Shit Barking Mad

Wayne Gretzky campaigned for Harper. Go fucking figure

18. Is it a modern Tory thing?

Tories were the right wing capitalists of their day, those perspectives are
still abundant in North America

The English were politically tolerant and generous in their settlement with the
French after the Battle of Quebec, but economically they controlled things.
The two cultures remain separate to a not insignificant extent today

[Monk06]

19. The modern conservative came out of the union of the PCs, Progessive Conservatives and the Reform

Party. The former was led by the Alberta reactionary Preston Manning and the latter by former prime minister Joe Clark

The new conservative party was formed and the Progressive part of their name was dropped and they dumped Joe Clark and his replacement Kim Campbell for Steven Harper another right wing Alberta politician.

Their agenda was to slowly privatize the national healthcare system and all crown corporations in favor of a system more to the liking of their Republican friends in the US. He also wanted to eliminate the Canada Pension Plan by increasing the retirement age to 70

Harper's aim was to roll back the clock to the 1950s just like the Tea Baggers of today

It will be a long long time before the are in power again because Harper made sure there was nobody else in the party with the skill and national exposure that could replace him.

Now they are a party of Alberta and Toronto nobodies like the were before Mulronney

20. Excellent

Thanks for the contemporary update on Canadian politics for U.S. neophytes like me.

History rolls on, and the left and the right do too.

8. It's always the same people doing the same crazy shit.

I'll leave it at that.

[retrowire]

9. What the fuuuuuuhhhh nt

[SunSeeker]

10. This guy really should not be out of confinement.

I think it can be presumed he will ignore the judge's order that he not contact the PM or any female MPs.

[AllyCat]

11. Completely delusional.

[applegrove]

12. Luckily the people on the train he was on heard his threats

and the police were alerted in the next town.

15. Well, what good are the non-disclosure agreements anyway if he's gonna tell everyone? n/t

[DetlefK]

16. Reminds me of a case from Obama's 2008 campaign.

There was this woman who said that a man cut the letters BO (for Barack Obama) in her cheek... except the letters were mirrored... as if she had cut herself while looking into the mirror...

[Gawdless Pinko Lib]

17. And that's exactly what had happened: the police confirmed it

There's a term for committing a crime and blaming it on someone else, but I can't recall exactly what it is at the moment.
