On Feb. 5, Nanaimo City Councillor Tyler Brown says he was threatened at a city council meeting.
“I think what he was saying was we’d end up in a gas chamber,” Brown said. “Then, as another gentleman was leaving, I happened to just be getting up from my seat, and he basically just looked at me right in the face and said, ‘Watch your back Brown’.”
Brown isn’t the only politician who has been threatened. On Feb. 8, Premier David Eby said MLA Selina Robinson received a death threat.
In June, a Victoria city councillor received death threats and the City of Langford adopted a new social media policy after thinly veiled death threats against councillors were made.
Brown also said a note reading, “Next time I see you and your boys in the bike lane, I should just run you over” was left on his front door three years ago.
