Just to be crystal clear : This email was sent me last year & @OttawaPolice did not deem it criminal.

If the Ottawa police are charging JJ Clarke with multiple counts of online stalking & harassment AND seized all his firearms, they have pretty damning evidence!

I appreciate everyone's kindness here but to reiterate, I'm using this concrete threat as an example of how the threshold for criminal harassment in Canada is HIGH. So, for JJ Clarke to have been charged with SEVEN counts, means there was A LOT of very credible evidence.

But yes, Ottawa Police are not my friend and I could write a whole other book on my experiences of reporting online harassment to police.

Please trust me when I say that if Ottawa Police had enough evidence to charge 'Ottawa's favourite weatherman', then the evidence was damning

And PS, we also know the evidence was damning because his lawyer isn't really refuting the charges but rather arguing that they were the result of JJ's deteriorating mental health!
