Lethbridge woman accused of making threats against PM’s wife

LETHBRIDGE – A 49-year old Lethbridge woman is facing charges, in connection with alleged threats made against the Canadian government, including Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s wife, Sophie Grégoire Trudeau.

The allegation stems from information that was received by the RCMP’s “K” Division Integrated National Security Enforcement Team (K-INSET) in Calgary on May 11, 2017.

Investigators report that they identified the social media account where the messages originated, and took the account holder into custody without incident on May 12.

Lisa Seymour-Peters has been charged with one count of uttering threats contrary to section 264.1 of the Criminal Code, and released on numerous conditions.

As part of her release, she cannot have any contact or be within 100 meters of Sophie Grégoire Trudeau or her immediate family, and she can’t attend any political party, gathering or function.
