The Peterborough-based leader of a white nationalist group has been ordered to enter into a peace bond with an Ottawa human rights lawyer.
The online posting was made in the wake of March 15 mosque shootings in Christchurch, New Zealand, that left 51 dead. Police are not necessarily involved in a peace bond application. Under the Criminal Code, any person may apply to a court to obtain a peace bond against another individual. A peace bond signed by a defendant is forwarded to the national RCMP headquarters, and a record of it is added to the national Canadian Police Information Computer database, and can be used by police anywhere in Canada.
Staff Sgt. Dan MacLean of the Peterborough Police said Wednesday police investigated a complaint against Goudreau earlier this year, but concluded that there were no grounds to lay charges. There are no ongoing investigations of Goudreau, said MacLean.
