A Winnipeg man — already accused of threatening Prime Minister Mark Carney and inciting hate toward Muslim and Jewish communities — is now facing additional charges.
The RCMP federal policing division announced three new charges against Jason Paul Rindall in a news release Friday, including another allegation that he threatened to kill Carney, engaged in the promotion of hatred and advocated for genocide.
Rindall, 55, was arrested Feb. 13 after the RCMP in Manitoba launched an investigation into threatening messages published on the social media platform X. Rindall was initially charged with with three counts of threats to cause death or bodily harm.

Court records show Rindall has two prior assault charges dating back to 2008 and 2012.
Police have revealed little about their investigation into Rindall, who remains in custody and is scheduled to appear in Winnipeg court Friday.
“As the investigation is ongoing and before the courts, the RCMP will not be providing any further comments at this time,” the news release said.
“Law enforcement agencies work diligently to make our communities a safer place to live but your assistance in remaining vigilant and informing us of any suspicious activities will help us be even more effective.”
