Charlie Angus, MP for Timmins-James Bay in northern Ontario, says he wants police to take complaints of harassment and threatening behaviour seriously after charges against a man accused of uttering death threats against him and his staff were tossed. CBC obtained a court recording in which the Crown told the judge that the evidence had gone missing.
