An Ottawa man has been arrested by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP) for posting "numerous" threats on Twitter.

The online posts were described as "death and terrorism-related" and were aimed at Parliament Hill, the Department of Defense, the Embassy of the People's Republic of China, as well as the Embassy of the United States of America in Ottawa.

Officials were made aware of the Twitter posts on November 8, according to a press release.

"All threats to the public are taken seriously, including tweets on social media," said Staff Sgt. Pascal Herbert of the RCMP's Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (INSET). "This file demonstrates how communication between departments plays a key role in keeping our communities safe."

According to police, the person behind the tweets was identified as 19-year-old Daniel Houde, of Ottawa.

He has since been arrested and charged with four counts each of perpetrating a terrorist hoax, uttering threats to cause death or bodily harm to a person, and uttering threats to burn, destroy and damage property.

Houde has since been released on unspecified conditions and is due in court on January 18.

It's not clear what exactly was said or what threats were specifically made in the tweets, other than the groups that were allegedly targeted.

RCMP had advised anyone who suspects someone of planning or supporting terrorist activities to call the National Security Information Network at 1-800-420-5805 or by email at RCMP.NSIN-RISN.GRC@rcmp-grc.gc.ca.

Rébecca se confie sur le jeu de Jacob, la situation d'Imane et son parcours à OD Panama

Il y a un côté de Jacob qu'on ne voit pas dans les émissions. 👀

Occupation Double | Crave

L’aventure de Rébecca à Occupation Double Panama est officiellement terminée. Après avoir été benchée une première fois, la barmaid de Québec de 24 ans a définitivement fait ses valises lors de la même soirée d’élimination que Jeremy, le policier débarqué dans l’aventure à la cinquième semaine grâce à un twist. Et disons que son départ n’a pas fait l’unanimité! Si certaines personnes dans les maisons semblaient impatientes de la voir quitter les lieux « pour l’ambiance », plusieurs téléspectateurs et téléspectatrices ont plutôt été déçus de perdre une candidate qui mettait pas mal d’action dans les villas panaméennes.

Calgary flood survivor to testify in Canada’s first youth-led federal climate trial

The 15 plaintiffs say Canada’s fossil fuel policies threaten their constitutional rights.

Sadie Vipond was 7 when her grandmother woke her in the middle of the night, and they fled their home. Outside, Calgary was in the midst of its largest flood in more than a century. They went to a friend’s place on higher ground as surging waters cut short the school year. At the city’s zoo, water rose high enough for a hippo to swim out of its enclosure — a memory that stays with her 13 years later.

Next week, she will testify in Canada’s first federal youth-led climate trial — a lawsuit she joined at 13. She’s one of 15 young Canadian plaintiffs in La Rose v. His Majesty the King, which will run for four weeks in Vancouver.
